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
web-based utility. You will only be able to access the 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.
Remote Access
Remote Management To permit remote access of the
Router, from outside the local network, select Enabled.
Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.
Access via HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) is the
communications protocol used to connect to servers on
the World Wide Web. HTTPS uses SSL (Secured Socket
Layer) to encrypt data transmitted for higher security.
Select HTTP or HTTPS. HTTP is the default.
Remote Upgrade If you want to be able to upgrade the
Router remotely, from outside the local network, select
Enabled. (You must have the Remote Management

NOTE: When you are in a remote location
and wish to manage the Router, enter

https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy, depending
on whether you use HTTP or HTTPS. Enter the
Router’s specific Internet IP address in place
of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and enter the Remote
Management Port number in place of yyyy.

Windows operating system to automatically configure the
Router for various Internet applications, such as gaming
and videoconferencing.

Otherwise, select Disabled.
Allow Users to Configure Keep the default, Enabled,
if you want to be able to make manual changes to the
