Remote Management menu
To configure your router for Remote Management:
1.
Select the Allow Remote Management check box.
2.
Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management by
entering a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
For security, NETGEAR recommends that you restrict access to as few external IP addresses
as practical.
3.
Specify the Port Number that will be used for accessing the management interface.
Note:
Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password. 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 30 characters.
