Remote Management
The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your WNDR3800
router over the Internet.
To set up remote management:
1.
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Remote Management
.
Note:
Be sure to change the router’s default login password to a very secure
password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language and contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and
symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.
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 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
Range
. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select
Everyone
.
4.
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 management Web interface. Choose
a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service
port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
5.
Click
Apply
to have your changes take effect.
6.
When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router’s WAN IP address into your
browser’s address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For
example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, enter
in your browser.
USB Settings
For added security, the router can be set up to share only approved USB devices. See
Specify Approved USB Devices
on page 62 for the procedure.
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), you
should enable UPnP.

To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1.
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup >
UPnP
. The UPnP screen displays.
2.
The available settings and information in this screen are:
Turn UPnP On
.
UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the router does
not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding
(mapping) of the router.
Advertisement Period
.
The advertisement period is how often the 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 additional 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 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you
notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, then it might be
necessary to increase this value.
UPnP Portmap Table
.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP
device that is currently accessing the 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.
