What if I forget the Password?
If you forget the password, the only way to recover is to clear the entire configuration and re-
turn the unit to its original state as shipped from the factory. Unfortunately, this means that
you have to re-enter all of your configuration data. To clear the configuration and restore the
password to the default, press the restore button and wait for the router to reset. When this is
complete, the Router will return all settings to the factory default. The password will once
again be “password”.
Note: Keep in mind that anyone who can physically access the router can perform this and thereby
compromise the security in your network.
System Monitoring
The System Monitoring page presents several configuration items related to management of
the router.
Remote Management: In this section, you can place restrictions on remote devices allowed to
manage the router. You have three choices:
• Allow remote management from Internet IP addresses – This will remove all restric-
tions on IP addresses that may manage the router
• Allow remote management for only 2 Internet IP addresses – Here you can specify
up to two IP addresses that are allowed to manage the router remotely. Any other re-
quest originating at another IP address will be denied
