Remote Management
The Remote Management screen lets you allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade, and check the status of your modem router.
1. Select Advanced > Remote
Management to display this screen:
2. Select the Turn Remote Management
On check box.
3. Specify the external addresses that can
access remote management. For
security, restrict access to as few
external IP addresses as practical.
Select a radio button:
• Only This Computer. Allow
access from a single IP address
on the Internet.
• IP Address Range. Allow access
from a range of IP addresses on
the Internet.
• IP Address List. Enter each IP
address that should have access.
• Everyone. Allow access from any
IP address on the Internet.
4. Specify the port number to be used for
accessing the modem router interface.
Web browser access usually uses the
standard HTTP service port 80. For
greater security, you can change it so the remote modem router interface uses a custom
port by entering that number in the field provided. 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.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
To access your modem router from the Internet, type your modem router’s WAN IP
address in your browser’s Address field, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port
number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 at port number 8080,
enter the following in your browser: http://134.177.0.123:8080.
Note: The http:// has to be included in the address.
