4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management.
5. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.
6. Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses that the router's remote
management allows.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses
as practical.
7. Select one of the following:
• Only This Computer. Select this radio button to allow access from a single IP
address on the Internet. Enter the IP address that is allowed access.
• IP Address Range. Select this radio button to allow access from a range of IP
addresses on the Internet. To define the allowed range, enter a beginning and ending
IP address.
• Everyone. Select this radio button to allow access from any IP address on the
Internet.
8. Specify the port number for accessing the router user interface.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote router user interface. Choose a
number from 1024 through 65535, but do not use the number of any common service
port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
9. Click the Apply button.
When you access your router from the Internet, type your router's WAN IP address in your
browser's address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For
example, if your external address is 203.0.113.123 and you use port number 8080, enter
http://203.0.113.123:8080 in your browser.
