Enabling Remote Management

Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to
make changes to your Router's settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are two
methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the Router
from anywhere on the Internet by selecting "Any IP address can remotely manage the
Router". By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet, you
will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the password of
your Router.
The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the
Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method, enter the IP
address you know you will be accessing the Router from in the space provided and
select "Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router". Before you enable this
function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password.
Leaving the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion.
Advanced Feature: The "Remote Access Port" option allows you to configure the
desired "Remote Access Port for Remote Management" feature. The default access
port is set to port 8080.
