Under Allow Remote Access By, select one of the following:

For a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer. Enter the IP address.

For a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.

For access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.

4.Specify the port number for accessing the web management interface.

Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.

5.Click the Apply button. Your changes take effect.

6.When you access your router from the Internet, type your router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s 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 in your browser.

Universal Plug and Play

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.

If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP.

To turn on Universal Plug and Play:

1.Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP. The UPnP screen displays.

2.Select the Turn UPnP On check box.

By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can be enabled or disabled. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does not allow
