I'm just setting up a new Vigor2620Ln router but I'd like to change the administrator login for the web interface from "admin" to something less obvious. I could do this on my Vigor2860n so I'm surprised it's not an option on the 2620Ln. I also can't see an option to enable Validation Code too for extra security.

On the other hand, maybe I'll leave the web interface only available accessible local/VPN users.

That particular model doesn't have all of the multiple admin accounts that the bigger routers like the Vigor 2862 have.

Thanks for the reply, I forgot this wasn't quite as fancy as the 28x range. :mrgreen:

However, I already have the option to select these choices for management:
Allow management from the Internet
Allow management from LAN

So I assume if I untick the "management from the Internet" section I could still VPN in and access the control panel from the LAN side as I do with the 2860 series routers I use, which is probably the best option anyway security wise.

That's correct, you can lock down management access to local only and then just use VPN

Thanks, I'll do that.

Changing the username doesn't make it any more secure; it's the passwordd, of adequate length that provides the security.
A username and password is not 2FA.
