Passwords

Passwords are not required, but you may want to use them to prevent unauthorized tampering with sys- tem settings if others have access to your network. You can designate an Administrator (who can change all router settings, including the passwords) and Users (who can view settings, but cannot change them).

NOTE: If you create an Admin Password, you may be asked to enter your User Name (Admin) and re-enter your password. To log in, you must enter Admin in the User Name field.

You must always log in as Admin before reviewing or changing any router settings.

NOTE: Write down your passwords and store them in a secure place. If you forget the Admin password, you will not have access to any settings until you reset the router to factory default settings.

Administrator settings

• Enter passwords for Administrator and User. Confirm by re-entering them in the fields below.

Remote Management (Default Off)

If turned on, this feature allows you to change router settings from a remote location (i.e., via the Internet). A username and password is required for access to the browser-based management interface.

IP Address: Enter the Internet IP address of a computer that has access to the router. You can use a wildcard asterisk (*) to allow all Internet IP addresses access to your network.

Port: Enter the port number used for access to the router.

Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080

(Where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the router and 8080 is the port used for the web management interface.)
