In the Allow Remote Access By section, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to
access the router’s remote management, as follows:

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

Range
. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select

as practical.

Specify the port number for accessing the management interface.
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,
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.
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),
you should enable UPnP.
