12 6 Remote Management
By default, the remote devices are not allowed to manage the router from the internet.
You can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed. HTTPS is a
more secure way to access the router.
Note:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), you cannot use the remote management
feature because private addresses are not routed on the internet.
Follow the steps below to allow remote devices to manage the router over HTTPS.
