2.4.3 Remote Management
This router by default does not allow management access from the Internet to
prevent possible security risks (especially when you have dened a weak password
or didn’t change the default password). However, you can still manage this router
from a specic IP address by enabling the Remote Management function.
Click the “System” menu on the left of Web management interface, then click
“Remote Management.” The screen below will display on your Web browser.
Host Address — Enter the IP address of the remote host you want to initiate
management access..
Port — You can dene the port number through which this router should expect an
incoming request. If you’re providing a Web service (default port number is 80),
you should try to use another port number. You can use the default port setting
(8080) or something like 32245 or 1429 (any integer between 1 and 65534)..
Enabled — Select the eld to start the conguration.
Click “Apply,” then either click “Continue” to save the settings and make additional
changes or click “Apply” again to save the settings and restart the router so the
settings will take effect after it reboots.
