2. Check the Turn Remote Management On check box.
3. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management.

a. To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.
Note: Be sure to change the router's default configuration password to a very secure

and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
