Remote Administrator Host

In general, only you, or members of your network, should access the

web configuration interface of the Broadband Router. In some

circumstances though, you may want to have access to the Broadband

Router web interface to change settings while you are away from your

network. The Remote Administrator Host field allows you to input the IP

address of one remote computer so that it can access the web configuration

interface to perform administrative tasks. Note: If you specify an IP

address of 0.0.0.0 and enable Remote Administration, any computer can

connect to the Broadband Router from outside of your network. Also,

when this feature is enabled, the web port will be shifted to port 88. This is

a security precaution to prevent an indiscriminate port scan, which could

find the web configuration interface and hack into your connection. In

order for the remote administrator to access the web configuration interface,

the user must input the IP address that has been given to the WAN port of

the Broadband Router (found in the Device Information screen). For

example: HTTP://192.168.51.23:88

Some FTP servers use a different port number than the standard port

21. This field will allow you to specify a non-standard FTP port number for

compatibility with those FTP servers.

After you have configured the Miscellaneous Items settings, click the

Save button. The following screen will be shown telling you that the

settings have been saved, but some items may not take effect until the

Broadband Router is rebooted.
