Note:
Be sure to change the gateway’s remote management password to a very
secure password before enabling remote management. 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 16 characters.
Note:
Web browser access normally uses the standard http service port 80. For
greater security, you can specify a custom port by entering that number in
the
Port Number
field. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do
not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080,
which is a common alternate for http.
