I would like to offer remote access to our LAN resources through our peplink max router. Perferrably just by giving user(s) a username and PW. I don’t want them to see or have access to the router, just the LAN side. The solutions I see all seem to require some form of VPN client which isn’t practical for this application. We have static pulic ips on the IP and wifi WAN on the router.
The knee jerk answer is port forwarding. Are you LAN side devices not servers?
You say “we have static public ips on the IP”
what is IP?
Why bring up Wifi WAN if your need is for remote access?
what application/protocol were they accessing with this username and password?
Questions become:
- Where are the users - on the public internet I assume?
- What do you want to give them access to?
Look at Peplink InTouch capability first to see if that would work, then consider using VPN.
For reliability I would suggest a hosted Fusionhub appliance to provide the user VPN endpoint, then build a Speedfusion VPN to the Fusionhub from the MAX.
That way you can use any internet connection on the MAX router and those IPs can change but remote users only ever build a VPN to the public IP of the Fusionhub.
Last (and worst) option is port forwarding.

Like Martin said use intouch if your model supports it.
