Turns out the default config on the residential router totally blocks access to

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
Personally, when I configure these routers, I always remove the default
configuration first. The firewall rules in the input chain disable all
IP access from the "wan" port (ether1). It is set up with a dhcp-client
on that port by default as well. Adding a static IP and gateway
manually, and removing the firewall will allow you to access the router
by IP remotely through ether1. For mac based access, there is a setting
under: /tool mac-server that disables the mac-telnet server for ether1
as well. You'd need to remove that as well. I am not certain, but I
think that one requires a reboot to turn the server on, as simply
changing the configuration doesn't seem to make it visible again.
