a more secure password. See the modem label for the default password.
To change the password for the modem’s web pages:

The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is

The limited Dashboard page displays.

Manage Port Forwarding for Incoming Traffic
You can enable and manage port forwarding only when the modem functions in Router
mode (see
Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode
on page 26).
Note
By default, the modem blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except for replies to your
outbound traffic. To allow remote computers on the Internet to access a computer on your local network,
you might need to create exceptions to this rule.
Port forwarding is an advanced feature that affects the behavior of the firewall in the modem. By enabling
port forwarding, you can make local computers or servers available to the Internet for different services.
Port forwarding is designed for FTP servers, HTTP web servers, and other server-based applications and
services. After you set up port forwarding, requests from the Internet are forwarded to the specified server.
