Hi folks Could someone please assist me?
I need to connect to a device attached to a LTE router remotely. How do I go about this and how do I set this up?

Thanks Graham
 
Magic

Because thats the only option given the 0 information provided
 
You talking about TeamViewer or Anydesk?
Or an alarm system?
Or an on-line CCTV?
 
Sadly none of those. I have a device that send data from the factory into the cloud. I have to make changes on the device from home it has no software on it at all. I login to it and make the changes.
 
When I am on-site, I connect to the router, find the ip address of the device /admin into it and make changes easy. But how do I do that from remotely?
 
Im not an expert, but...
You either need to have the router forward ports from outside (dangerous) or have VPN access features in the routers firmware. Both will also need Dynamic DNS so you can find the public IP address of the router each timd.

Make and model of router is needed - and your own google skills.

By the way also the network you are on LTE may block ports etc and stop this working.
 
As above, you need to port forward or VPN or have a PC on the local network you can teamviewer or anydesk to.
The PC on the local network is probably the easiest
VPN will depend on if your router supports it
Port forward is likely supported but not particularly safe unless you can lock it down to a specific incoming / source IP
 
Thank you all for your input. Much appreciated. I have 9 of these all over the place and the router is only there for this device at each site, so no local pc etc.
 
You could get this all on a private APN but not sure what your costing model looks like.
That will give you a LTE sim on your home side that is connected to the network they are all on and it can be seen as "local"
You then breakout of that APN to the internet

Or just use DDNS and a VPN
 
I do this with a Mikrotik router, dynamic DNS, and port forward. Not sure what router you use but it should have all this functionality as well.

1. DDNS allows you to resolve graham1.changeip.com to the router WAN IP address
2. Port forward external port like 8091 to internal port 80 or other as required
3. Log on to graham1.changeip.com:8091, graham2.changeip.com:8091 etc

You state you have to find the device internal IP first and would be way simpler if you assign a static. Block the allowed ranges of IP's that can use the port forward so you dont get scans from all over the world. I only allow my personal list of IP's that my fibre ISP, and my cell provider typically use

Absolutely, Reverse tunnel using a protected cloud VPS/container. Or use the commercial variants that do the same thing.
I actually use a special build of rathole as its small, secure and fast. Reliable and hasn't let me down with reconnections, etc.
Port forwards are bound to end up badly.
