3-1-3 Remote Management
If you need to manage this broadband router outside of your LAN (i.e.
from Internet), you can use this function to assign a remote IP address
which is permitted to connect to this broadband router’s web management
interface from Internet.
If it’s not required for you to manage this broadband router from Internet,
you can disable this function to improve security.
The descriptions of every setting item are listed as follow:

Host address Input the IP address of the remote host you

Port You can define the port number this router
should expect an incoming connection request.
If you’re providing a web service (default port

‘8080’, or something like ‘32245’ or ‘1429’.
