I am having trouble using remote access. How do I find the WAN IP so I can access the router off-site. What would I do here? Remote access is vital for off-site management.

The WAN IP was on the details page. I had https on, so I had to put xx.x.x.xx:8080. I hope this helped anyone with a issue like this!

You better use DDNS as your WAN ip is often dynamic.

Allowing remote access is a potential safety issue.

Either use a very strong password but better use SSH keys or even better use OpenVPN or WireGuard to make a remote connection to your network.
