6. In the Allow Remote Access By section, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to
access the router’s remote management.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses
as practical
Select one of the following:
• To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select the Only This
Computer radio button. Enter the IP address to be allowed access.
• To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select the IP Address
Range radio button. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed
range.
• To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select the Everyone radio
button.
7. Specify the port number for accessing the web management interface.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose
a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port.
The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your changes take effect.
To use remote access:
1. Launch an Internet browser on a computer that is not on your home network.
2. Type your router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or location field followed by
a colon (:) and the custom port number.
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080,
enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.
