the router’s
remote management.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses
as practical.
• To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select the Only This
Computer radio button. Enter the IP address that is 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.

button.
4. Specify the port number for accessing the router user interface.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote router user
interface.
Choose a
number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service
port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
