enabled. You will enter https:// and type your firewall's WAN IP address into your browser,
followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your WAN IP address is
134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, type the following in your browser:
https://134.177.0.123:8080
The router's remote login URL is https://IP_address:port_number or
https://FullyQualifiedDomainName:port_number.
If you do not use the SSL https://address, but rather use http://address, the FVS338 will
automatically attempt to redirect to https://address.
Note: The first time you remotely connect the FVS338 with a browser via SSL, you may get a
message regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a Windows computer with Internet
Explorer 5.5 or higher, simply click Yes to accept the certificate.
Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can always identify the IP
address of your FVS338 by running
example,
tracert yourFVS338.mynetgear.ne
assigned to the FVS338.
