Enabling Remote Management Access
The remote management feature allows you to upgrade or check the status of your WNDR3700
router via the Internet. From the main menu, under Advanced, select Remote Management.
To configure your router for remote management:
1. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.
2. Under Allow Remote Access By, specify what external IP addresses will be allowed to access
the router’s remote management.
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.
•
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address Range.
Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.

Note: Be sure to change the router’s default configuration password to a very secure
password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both uppercase and lowercase),
numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as
practical.
