UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE
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.
