Be sure to change the modem router default login password to a
secure password. The ideal password contains no dictionary words
from any language and contains uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters. See

.
2.
Select the
Turn Remote Management On
check box.
3.
Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to access
the modem 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
Only This
Computer
. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select
IP Address

Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose
a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port.
The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.

Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
to access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
Note:
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, or real-time communications such as instant
messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), enable
UPnP.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1.
From the Advanced tab, select
Advanced Setup >
UPnP
.
2.
Specify the following settings:
Turn UPnP On
.
UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If this check box is not selected, the modem
router does not allow any device to control the resources automatically, such as port
forwarding (mapping) of the modem router.
Advertisement Period
.
The advertisement period is how often the modem router
broadcasts its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The
default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current
device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise
the freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.

Advertisement Time to Live
.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops
(steps) for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of steps a
broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it
disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the
advertisement time to live is four hops, which are fine for most home networks. If you
notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, you should increase
this value.
UPnP Portmap Table
.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP
device that is accessing the modem router and which ports (internal and external) that
device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and
whether that port is still active for each IP address.
