Password spray attacks is brute-forcing the admin password, isn’t it? A risk with any Internet-connected device?

The admin interface shouldn't be exposed to the WAN in the first place.

That's not to say it isn't of course, but it really shouldn't be for exactly that reason.

True, On these, it's an ID (with 2FA) that a Deco app uses so you can remotely monitor and administer it. But for that to work, it must be doing this over the WAN.

Well I've ended up putting the BRSK router back into the mix and setting the Decos to access mode. Only way I could get the landline to work (which I didn't  want). All working nicely now and the DECO network seems much more stable than BRSK WiFi. Does mean I dont need the switch so that can go back to Amazon, the BRSK router has spare LAN ports.

Lot of effort but got there in the end and now have 900Mb internet with a high speed stable WiFi network and working landline.

If you didn't want it, why would you want to get it to work? #confused

My landline died years ago. I couldn't be arsed to register a fault, it stopping working did me a favour.
