"If you are connected to a RDP session and are connecting to the router from there, it should act the same as if you are connecting to the router from that machine.

I have not seen a router intelligent enough to know if a client is coming from a console session or remote, and if it could, it would be a real security threat if this sort of information was available to websites.

So, perhaps you do just have the wrong password? If not, it is possible that there are other errors. Can you 100% log on to the router using the same password from the client machine?

Lastly, careful for symbols and keyboard differences there may be between guest and host for example @ (At symbol) and "" (quotation marks) amongst others. You may want to try typing the password into notepad or any text field then copying and pasting in to the correct place (You cannot usually. (If you cannot right click paste, remember Ctrl+V)"
