Enabling Remote Management Access

Using the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade and check the status of your WPNT834 router.

To configure your router for Remote Management:

1. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.

2. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management.

Figure 8-13

Note: Be sure to change the router's default configuration password to a very secure

password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers,
and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as

practical.
