add a password for more security, you can set a password

It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan
to use the remote management feature of this Router.
Setup Steps:

Configuring Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the
system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the
Router is used to record the security log and control client filtering.
Select the time zone that you reside in. The system
clock may not update immediately.
Setup Steps:
Click on “System Settings” in the left-hand
column under the “Utilities” heading.
Select the time zone that you reside in and the NTP server.
If you reside in an area that observes Daylight Saving, then
place a checkmark in the box next to “Daylight Savings”.
Click “Apply Changes”.

Configuring Remote Management
Remote management allows you to make changes to your Router's
settings from anywhere on the Internet. Before you enable this
function, make sure you have set the administrator password.
Setup Steps:
Click on “System Settings” in the left-hand
column under the “Utilities” heading.
If you select the “Any IP address can remotely manage
the router” check box, you are allowed to access the
Router from anywhere on the Internet by typing in your
WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet.
If you do not select the “Any IP address can remotely
manage the router” check box, specify an IP
address to remotely manage the Router.
Note: Selecting “Only this IP address can remotely manage
the router” is more secure, but less convenient.
In the “Remote Access Port” field, set the port number for
accessing the router through remote Web management.
Click “Apply Changes”.
