The Administration Tab - Management

This section of the Administration tab allows the network's administrator to manage specific Router functions for access and
security.

in the Re-enter to confirm field to confirm.
Figure 3-39: Administration Tab - Management
Web Access. HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) - The communications protocol used to connect to servers on the World
Wide Web. HTTPS - Uses SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt data transmitted for higher security. Select HTTP or HTTPS.
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. To access the Router remotely, from outside the network, verify that Enable is selected. Then, 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.
UPnP. When using UPnP features, select Enable. Because allowing this may present a risk to security, this feature is disabled
by default.
