Select HTTP or HTTPS. HTTP is the default.
Access via Wireless If you are using the Router in a public
domain where you are giving wireless access to your
guests, you can disable wireless access to the Router’s

utility via a wired connection if you disable the setting.
Keep the default, Enabled, to allow wireless access to the
utility, or select Disabled to block wireless access to the
utility.
