Remote Management
Selecting Remote Management in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen
generates the “Remote Management” screen. Remote Management allows access
to the Modem through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends
leaving the Remote Management Off (the factory default setting).
To access the Modem from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting
On and writing down the WAN IP address of the Modem (see “WAN IP Address”).
On a computer outside of the network, open a Web browser and enter the Modem’s
WAN IP address in the address text box. A username and password prompt appears
in the browser window. Enter your username and password to access the Modem.
☞ Note: Before Remote Management can be activated, the admin-
istrator password must be set. To do this, go to the Setup screen
and select Change Admin Password. Follow the instructions in
the subsequent screens.
