Router Password  Enter a new password for the Router.

Re-enter to confirm  Enter the password again to confirm.

Local Management Access

Access via  HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) is the communications protocol used to connect to servers on the World Wide Web. HTTPS uses SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt data transmitted for higher security. Select HTTP or HTTPS. HTTP is the default.

Access via Wireless  If you are using the Router in a public domain where you are giving wireless access to your guests, you can disable wireless access to the Router’s browser-based utility. You will only be able to access the utility via a wired connection if you disable the setting. Keep the default, Enabled, to allow wireless access to the utility, or select Disabled to block wireless access to the utility.

Remote Management Access

Remote Management  To permit remote access of the Router, from outside the local network, select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.
