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 from which you
know you will be accessing the Router 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� The remote-access port
defaults to port 8080� You can choose a different port by entering a new
port number in the “remote port” field� Click on the “Apply Changes”
button to save your settings�
