Remote Management

Choose menu "Advanced→Security→Remote Management", and then you can configure the
Remote Management function in the screen as shown in Figure 5-61. This feature allows you to
manage your router from a remote location via the Internet.
Web Management Port - Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service

port 80. This router's default remote management web port number is 80. For greater security,
you can change the remote management web port to a custom port by entering that number
in the box provided. Choose a number between 1 and 65534 but do not use the number of
any common service port.
Remote Management IP Address - This is the current address you will use when accessing

your router from the Internet. This function is disabled when the IP address is set to the
default value of 0.0.0.0. To enable this function change 0.0.0.0 to a valid IP address. If set to
255.255.255.255, then all the hosts can access the router from internet.

Note:
1. To access the router, you should type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's
address (in IE) or Location (in Navigator) box, followed by a colon and the custom port
number. For example, if your router's WAN address is 202.96.12.8, and the port number used
is 8080, please enter http://202.96.12.8:8080 in your browser. Later, you may be asked for
the router's password. After successfully entering the username and password, you will be
able to access the router's web-based utility.
2. Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password.
