Remote Management: This feature allows you to manage your Router from a remote location, via the
Internet. To disable this feature, keep the default setting, Disable. To enable this feature, select
Enable, and use the specified port ( default is 8080) on your PC to remotely manage the Router. You
should also change the Router’s default password, if you haven’t already done so. A unique password
will increase security.
To remotely manage the Router, enter
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 (the x’s represent the Router’s
Internet IP address, and 8080 represents the specified port) in your web browser’s address field. You
will be asked for the Router’s password. After successfully entering the password, you will be able to
access the Router’s web-based utility.
Note: If the Remote Management feature is enabled, anyone who knows the Router’s Internet IP
address and password will be able to alter the Router’s settings.
MTU: MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for
Internet transmission. Keep the default setting, Auto, to have the Router select the best MTU for your
Internet connection, To specify a MTU size, select Manual, and enter the value desired (default is
1400). You should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
Log: The Router can keep logs of all incoming or outgoing traffic for your Internet connection. This
feature is disabled by default. To keep activity logs, select Enable.
To keep a permanent record of activity logs as a file on your PC’s hard drive, Log viewer software
must be used. In the Send Log to field, enter the fixed IP address of the PC running the Log viewer
software. The Router will send updated logs to that PC.
To see a temporary log of the Router’s most recent incoming traffic, click the Incoming Access Log
button. To see a temporary log of the Router’s most recent outgoing traffic, click the Outgoing
Access Log button.
Click the Apply button to save the setting.
