To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time period
the router will permit remote access for and click
Enable.

Firmware Upgrade
Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of
your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software
may be improved and revised, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take
advantage of these changes.
Clicking on
Browse
will allow you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC.
Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.
