SSH Access (Dropbear Instance) & SSH-Keys

How should the 2 tabs for "SSH Access" and "SSH-Keys" be configured for router? Remote access is not needed so would like to configure settings for security to prevent any access.

If you really don't want access via ssh, turn it off. Go to admin/system/startup and click the button next to 'dropbear' to show 'disabled'.

Awesome. I see that setting and disabled it. Thank you very much.

If the luci interface borks, your router might follow, if you don't have the alternate route to log in to it. Set it to listen only on br-lan. The SSH Keys tab would be for passwordless logins via public/private keypairs. But if you want, go ahead and delete the dropbear instance.

Thank you. I am afraid to delete it, so just disabled it per "themurther" instructions above.
