Wireless Cable Modem Gateway CGD24G User Manual
3.Enter the following information:
•Remote Password. Enter the user name that will be used from the remote PC to manage the gateway. This password is different from the password that you use to log into the gateway from your LAN.
Note: Be sure to change the gateway’s remote management password to a very secure password before enabling remote management. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 16 characters.
•Port Number. Specify the port number that will be used for accessing the management interface. The default port number is 80.
Note: Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can change the remote management Web interface to a custom port by entering that number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.

Note: Do not attempt to go online, turn off the gateway, shut down the computer, or do anything else to the gateway until the gateway finishes restarting. When the test light turns off, wait a few more seconds before you do anything with the gateway.
