Remote Management

Using the Remote Management menu, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade and check the status of your router.
Note: Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password. The
ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a
mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password
can be up to 30 characters.
