Remote Management
The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your N150 2-Port
Wireless 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 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.
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

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 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.
