Enable Remote Management
Using the Remote Management screen, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to
configure, upgrade, and check the status of your router.
Tip:
Be sure to change the router 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 uppercase and
lowercase), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30
characters.
To configure remote management:
1.
Log in to the router. Type
http://www.routerlogin.net
in the address field of your
Internet browser. Enter
admin
for the user name and your password (or the default,
password
)
.
2.
Under Advanced, select
Remote Management
.
3.
Select the
Turn Remote Management On
check box.
4.
Specify which external addresses will be allowed
to access the router’s remote management.
For security, restrict access to as few external
IP addresses as practical:
•
To allow access from any IP address on the
Internet, select
Everyone
.
•
To allow access from a range of IP
addresses on the Internet, select
IP
Address Range
. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed
range.
•
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select
Only This Computer
.
Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.
5.
Specify the number of the port that will be used for accessing the router menu.
Access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can
enter a different port number. 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.
6.
Click
Apply
to have your changes take effect.
When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router WAN IP address in your
Internet browser address or location field, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port
number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number
8080, enter
http://134.177.0.123:8080.
Be sure to include http:// in the address.
