Note: Be sure to change the router's default configuration password to a very secure password. 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 30 characters.

To configure your router for Remote Management:

1.Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.

2.Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management.

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.
