Use Remote Access

To use remote access:
1. Launch a web browser on a computer that is not on your home network.
2. Type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's address or location field followed by a colon (:)
and the custom port number.
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, enter
http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.
