Cannot access to control MR2200ac?

[nthkmf]

Dear Bro,

I have just attached to my router a RT2600ac (as primary AP) and MR2200ac (as Wi-Fi point). I can search all of them, but I cannot access to the MR2200ac to control it. I can connect to RT2600ac at http://192.168.1.7:8000/webman/index.cgi, I know the IP of MR2200ac: 192.168.1.8 but when I connect to it, it told me error like this:




Anybody knows what happens? Thank you.

Well if you have configured them as mesh it will understandable that you can’t control them directly

Thanks Rusty, How to control it in-directly?

What do you want to do exactly?

When in mesh mode the additional MR2200ac cannot be directly accessed, they are all controlled through the primary router: that's the RT2600ac or a MR2200ac, and this device will runs:

1. Internet firewall/router
2. WiFi access controller where you configure the mesh's setup
3. Safe Access server: it acts inline with web requests from client devices
4. Threat Prevention server works alongside the firewall
5. VPN Plus server
6. Any other function that SRM supports is run only on the primary router

In a mesh the other MR2200ac play a supporting role and for extending the wireless coverage from Wi-Fi Connect and the DHCP service from Network Center. You should think of them as smart Access Points that are managed by the primary router.

That's not entirely true @fredbert. You can use

synomeshctl getallnodebasicinfo

and then

synomeshctl enablessh --node <node number> --enable 1

then use

synodevicetool --list-online

to find the address, and

ssh -i /usr/syno/etc/mesh/ssh/id_rsa <m2200ac>

. On the other hand, the real question is, 'Why?'

@aidanlinz firstly, welcome to the forum.

While it's possible to use those commands they don't succeed in providing access to an SRM web interface on the MR2200ac, and that was the question (to use the web access). I not sure what, after getting SSH command line access, will be the next step on the MR2200ac.

Well, you can log in and get to the file manager and help

Ok. I use network devices for network functions. I keep storage off the perimeter.
