Using the Web-based advanced User interface

Setting the Time and Time Zone
The router keeps time by connecting to a simple Network Time Protocol

(sNTP) server� This allows the router to synchronize the system clock

to the global internet� The synchronized clock in the router is used to

record the security log and control client filtering� select the time zone

that you reside in� if you reside in an area that observes daylight saving,

then place a check mark in the box next to “Automatically Adjust Daylight

saving”� The system clock may not update immediately� Allow at least 15

minutes for the router to contact the time servers on the internet and get

a response� You cannot set the clock yourself�

Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin router, MAKe

sUre YOU HAVe seT THe ADMiNisTrATOr PAssWOrD� remote

management allows you to make changes to your router’s settings from

anywhere on the internet� There are two methods of remotely managing

the router� The first is to allow access to the router from anywhere on the

internet by selecting “Any iP address can remotely manage the router”�

By typing in your WAN iP address from any computer on the internet,

you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the

password of your router� The second method is to allow a specific iP

address only to remotely manage the router� This is more secure, but

less convenient� To use this method, enter the iP address you know

you will be accessing the router from in the space provided and select

“Only this iP address can remotely manage the router”� Before you

enable this function, it is sTrONGlY reCOMMeNDeD that you set your

administrator password� leaving the password empty will potentially open

your router to intrusion�
