Web Utility 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 Access
Remote Management To permit remote access of the
Router from the Internet (outside the local network),
select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.
Web Utility Access 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.
Remote Upgrade If you want to be able to upgrade
the Router from the Internet (outside the local network),
select Enabled. (You must have the Remote Management

and wish to manage the Router, enter
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy or
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy, depending
on whether you use HTTP or HTTPS. Enter the
Router’s specific Internet IP address in place
of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and enter the Remote
Management Port number in place of yyyy.

Router for various Internet applications, such as gaming
and videoconferencing.
