Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

Setting the Time and Time Zone

The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server.. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global Internet.. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log and control client filtering.. Select the time zone that you reside in.. You have the option to select a primary and a backup NTP server to keep your Router’s clock synchronized.. Select your desired NPT server from the drop-down box, or simply keep it as is..

If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place a check mark in the box next to “Enable Daylight Saving”.. The system clock may not update immediately.. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response.. You cannot set the clock yourself..

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 you know you will be accessing the Router from 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..
