Actiontec electronic GT704WR user manual Remote Management, Using Advanced Setup

Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

Remote Management

Selecting Remote Management in the “Advanced Configuration” screen gener- ates the “Remote Management” screen. Remote Management allows access to the Router through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends leaving the Remote Management Off (the factory default setting).

To access the Router from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting On and writing down the WAN IP address of the Router (see “WAN IP Address” on page 29). On a computer outside of the network, open a Web browser and enter the Router’s WAN IP address in the address text box. The Router’s Main Menu (or a password prompt, if a password has been set) appears in the browser window.

☞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.
