So i recently got static ip on act chennai with all ports open and its working fine (lets call this work building).

The problem is i live in a different house now (lets call this home) and i need to access the router remotely (public ip) to port forward if I add more servers (different port).

I have an TP-Link archer c5 (Firmware Version:3.16.0 0.9.1 v6015.0 Build 190226 Rel.23566n Hardware Version:Archer C5 v4 00000004) provided by act (back of router act password).

Now when i try to find remote management there is no option in this model.

But in my current house i have same archer c5 (Firmware Version:3.16.0 0.9.1 v6015.0 Build 180330 Rel.20128n Hardware Version:Archer C5 v4 00000004) but the ui looks totally different and there is remote management.

Is there a way I can use remote management without switching these routers? And I can't even buy one right now due to lockdown here.

ACT provides service provider version routers.
You can't update firmware of this routers or install custom firmware.
ACT disabled remote management in all thier routers because of a big security issue happened few years ago.
I have a act provided archer c5 lying around as I can't install openwrt in that because of these restrictions.
If you are from Chennai, then wait a few days as Amazon and flipkart are starting deliveries from next Monday.

I have the same router from Act in Bangalore. This router is specifically procured by Act from TP-Link. It doesn't exist in Tp link India product page so no firmware upgrade unless Act provides. I tried no-ip to access the router from my home and similarly it didn't worked. I would suggest you to get a Archer C6.
