NOTE: When you want to manage this router from another computer on internet,
you have to input the IP address and port number of this router. If your Internet
service provider assigns you with 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 either 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 2-5-8
‘DDNS client’ for details.
