We just recently started using a lot of the RB751  High powered WiFi units for 
our residential clients.  The sales guy sold an upgrade of one of these to a 
remote customer (over an hour away) and we just shipped him one, "knowing" that 
we could config it remotely.

After jerking around for a while over the phone, we could see the LAN 
connection on the wireless radio come and go as he unplugged the unit, but we 
still couldn't see it by MAC to telnet in to program it, etc.

Turns out the default config on the residential router totally blocks access to 
Port 1 by....1) not having that port in the MAC server list, by having a FW 
rule, and by something else (*which I am not sure what that is).

Fixing those things above, I still had to remove the default config from the 
router (after a fresh /sys reset) and then all is find.

I am kinda curious what third setting would need to have been adjusted to make 
MAC remote access available on Port 1

Hmmmm...
