Enabling Remote Management

Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet.

There are two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting, “Any IP address can remotely manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method, enter the IP address from which you know you will be accessing the Router in the space provided and select, “Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router”.

Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion. The remote-access port defaults to port 8080. You can choose a different port by entering a new port number in the “remote port” field. Click on the “Apply Changes” button to save your settings.
