other users in the List of Users table.)
Figure 192.
2.
In the Action column of the List of Users table, click the
Edit
table button for the user with
the name admin. The Edit Users screen displays:
Figure 193.

Note:
The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both uppercase and
lowercase), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to
32 characters.
5.
As an option, you can change the idle time-out for an administrator login session. Enter a
new number of minutes in the Idle Timeout field. (The default setting is 5 minutes.)
6.
Click
Apply
to save your settings.
7.
Repeat
Step 1
through
Step 6
for the user with the name guest.
Note:
After a factory defaults reset, the password and time-out value are
changed back to password and 5 minutes, respectively.
You can also change the administrator login policies:
•
Disable login. Deny login access.
Note:
You obviously do not want to deny login access to yourself if you are
logged in as an administrator.
•
Deny login access from a WAN interface. By default, the administrator cannot log in from
a WAN interface. You can change this setting to allow login access from a WAN interface.
•
Deny or allow login access from specific IP addresses. By default, the administrator can
log in from any IP address.
Note:
For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP
addresses as practical.
•
Deny or allow login access from specific browsers. By default, the administrator can log in
from any browser.
In general, these policy settings work well for an administrator. However, you can change the
administrator login policies as explained in
Set User Login Policies
on page 299.
Configure Remote Management Access
An administrator can configure, upgrade, and check the status of the wireless VPN firewall
over the Internet through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN connection.

Note:
When remote management is enabled and administrative access
through a WAN interface is granted (see
Configure Login Policies
on
page 299), the wireless VPN firewall’s web management interface is
accessible to anyone who knows its IP address and default
password. Because a malicious WAN user can reconfigure the
wireless VPN firewall and misuse it in many ways, NETGEAR highly
recommends that you change the admin and guest default
passwords before continuing (see
Change Passwords and
Administrator and Guest Settings
on page 320).
To configure the wireless VPN firewall for remote management:
1.
Select
Administration > Remote Management
. The Remote Management screen
displays the IPv4 settings (see the next screen).
2.
Specify the IP version for which you want to configure remote management:
•
IPv4
. In the upper right of the screen, the IPv4 radio button is already selected by
default. Go to
Step 3
.
