Remote Management

Using the Remote Management screen, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade, and check the status of your wireless router.
Tip: Be sure to change the wireless router's default 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 uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and
symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
To configure remote management:
1. Log in to the wireless router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.1.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever user name,
password, and LAN address you have chosen for the wireless router.
2. On the main menu, select Remote Management under Advanced. The Remote Management
screen displays:
Figure 5-9
3. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.
4. Specify which external addresses will be allowed to access the wireless router's remote
management.
For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical:
• To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.
