5.2 Change management password

The default password of this router is 1234 and it is displayed on the login

when you have the wireless function enabled.

To change the password, please follow these instructions:

Please click ‘System’ on the left of web management interface menu, then

click ‘Password Settings’, and the following message will be displayed on

your web browser:

Please input new password here again.

Password (3):

When you finish, click ‘Apply’. If you want to keep original password

unchanged, click ‘Cancel’.

field are not the same, you will see the following message:

5.3 Remote Management

This router does not allow management access from the Internet to prevent

possible security risks (especially when you have defined a weak password or

did not the change default password). However, you can still manage this

router from a specific IP address by enabling the ‘Remote Management’

Function.

To do so, please follow these instructions:

Please click ‘System’ on the left of the web management interface menu, then

click ‘Remote Management’, and the following screen will be displayed on

your web browser:

Here are descriptions of each setup item:

Host Address (1):

Input the IP address of the remote host you wish to use to

initiate management access.

Port (2):

You can define the port number this router should expect

an incoming request from. If you’re providing a web

service (default port number is 80), you should try to use

another port number. You can use the default port setting

‘8080’ or something like ‘32245’ or ‘1429’. (Any integer

between 1 and 65534)

Enable (3):

Select the field to start the configuration.

When you finish with all settings, click ‘Apply’ (4), and you will see the

following message displayed on your web browser:

Press ‘Continue’ to save the settings changes made and return to the web

management interface; press ‘Apply’ to save the settings changes made, restart

the router, and have the settings take effect after it reboots.

NOTE: When you want to manage this router from another computer

on the Internet, you have to input the IP address and port number of

this router. If your Internet service provider assigns you a static IP

address, it will not be a problem; but if the IP address your service

provider assigns to you will vary every time you establish an internet

connection, this will be a problem.

Please ask your service provider to give you a static IP address or

use dynamic IP to host name mapping services like DDNS. Please

refer to chapter 6.8 ‘DDNS client’ for details.

NOTE: The default port number the web browser will use is ‘80’. If the

‘Port’ setting in this page is not ‘80’, you have to assign the port

number in the address bar of your web browser manually. For

example, if the IP address of this router is 1.2.3.4, and the port

number you set is 8888, you have to input the following address in the

address bar of your web browser:

http://1.2.3.4:8888

To begin configuration, please follow these instructions:

Please click ‘WAN’ menu on the left of the web management interface, and the

following message will be displayed on your web browser:
