Wireless Access Web. If you are using your Wireless Router in a public domain where you are giving wireless
access to your guests, you can disable wireless access to the router's web-based utility. You will only be able to
access the web-based utility via a wired connection if you disable the setting. Select Enable to enable wireless
access to the Router's web-based utility or Disable to disable wireless access to the utility.
Remote Router Access
Remote Management. To access the Router remotely, from outside the network, verify that Enable is selected.
Management Port. Enter the port number that will be open to outside access. You will need to enter the Router's
password when accessing the Router this way, as usual.
Use https. If you want to require the use of SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt transmitted data, click the
checkbox.
UPnP

feature is disabled by default.
