physical interface MAC address on the Router, enter it here.
External Admin: This router allows outside user configuration. This function is also referred to
as Remote Management. It allows the device to be configured through the WAN (Wide Area
Network) port from the Internet using a web browser. A username and password are still
required to access the browser-based management interface. To access the configuration page
from the WAN side, enter “http://<WAN IP Address>:8080” into the web browser address field.
Note: For Security reasons, it is recommended that you do not enable this function if it is not
necessary.
