Model : TD-W8970

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


Hello,

Please, could you help me solving the follow issue?

After successfully installation and configuration I tried to enable remote management because I need to reach router admin page from Internet.
.When I connect to the router from Internet I get the login page but after authentication I get a page with "403 Forbidden" message.
Also authentication page seems missing icons ans styles because looks like different from the same page showed when reached from inside LAN.
Does anyone experienced the same behaviour? There is a way to fix it?

Thank you
Best Regards
M.

Added screen-shots to show differences logging in from LAN and fomr Internet
Login Page from LAN:




Login Page fomm Internet (public IP)

Hello,

no people in this forum experiencing same issue or no one is using remote management.
No answer from Tp-Link support too. :(

Are you using IP address or domain address? This is bug in firmware.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I tested both conditions.
The connection with IP address to the management page, after first unsuccessful test, seem now magically resolved. It started working apparently without any change in router configuration.
After the configuration of DDNS client on router, also connecting to the management page using the domain name works fine.
What still not working is the use of domain name set (registered) with a different technique (in my case with ddclient from a server in the LAN) than router's DDNS client for no-ip or dyndns.
I get kind help from Tp-Link support (thank you) understanding this behavior.

Thank you James for your answer. Yes, you are right, the only 2 DDNS services selectable from router are ni-ip and dyndns.
What I did is to left disable DDNS on the router. My previous ADSL router didn't support this feature and I had to configure a machine inside my LAN that register the name with ddclient to DNSDynamic service.
When I replaced the router I continued using this perfectly working technique. But the router's remote management, for an unknown reason, dislike this configuration and don't work.
I can leave without this but I'm so curious to understand the reason. :-)

Hi marchino
What's firmware of your 8970? If it's not the latest, you can upgrade it first. http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TD-W8970&version=V1#tbl_j

And you should click "Remote management" on System Tools-->Manage Control, just as the picture shows below




Then use the " WAN IP: port" to login in 8970's web page from other WAN side

Good luck~

Hi James,
Yes, I flashed the latest firmware and already configured the Remote Management. The point I can't understand is the follow:
http://.no-ip.org: works fine.
The name above set with router's DDNS client.

http://.dnsget.org: does't work
The above set to another Dynamic DNS provider.

As said in my previous post I can live without this but I'm so curious to understand the reason. :-)

Hi marchino

The second Dynamic dns provider you use is Dyndns or not?
As I said in previous post, now TP-LINK product only support no-ip and dyndns in Dynamic DNS function.
If the Dyndns provider you use is not the one of the two, that's normal you can't use it on TD-W8970

Same issue
2015-04-13 17:34:49
I have the same issue with a TD-W8980 after a firmware upgrade to TD-W8980_V1_140919.

I don't actually access it directly from the WAN, I have a random port forwarded to a Linux machine on the inside for SSH and I use that to tunnel a port on my client machine to the router port 80. So, in theory the request is coming from my Linux machine on the LAN. This doesn't work either. The other strange thing is I get this:

[CODE]efftel@royale:~$ wget http://192.168.1.1/img/login/top1_1.jpg--2015-04-13 10:30:11-- http://192.168.1.1/img/login/top1_1.jpg
Connecting to 192.168.1.1:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
2015-04-13 10:30:11 ERROR 403: Forbidden.[/CODE]

This is from the LAN side. Surely that shouldn't happen?

I can telnet into the router - I'll wait until some time after business hours to try rebooting it and seeing whether that makes any difference.
