 Remote (not to be confused with remote control) refers to a network connection when the device is
not connected directly to that network’s router. In this case, the device uses an Internet or mobile
data connection to reach your network router. For example, if you are at work and need to access
your network, you would access it remotely. With a remote connection, your device typically uses
some form of authentication so that your network router knows that it can trust your device when it
requests a connection. With the lighting network, you must have a password-protected online
account to which you log in through a smart device or Web browser. This authenticated login lets
your network know that it is safe to accept the connection.
