Remote Management - NETGEAR N900 User Manual

Remote Management

The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your router over the
Internet.
Note: Be sure to change the router's default login password to a very
secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary
words from any language and contain uppercase and lowercase
letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.
To set up remote management:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Remote Management.
2. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.
3. Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses that are allowed to
access the router's remote management.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses
as practical.
• To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer.
Enter the IP address.
• To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address
Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
• To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.
