Set up remote management

To set up remote management:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the

router network.

2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.

A login window opens.

3. Enter the router admin user name and password.

The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home page displays.

4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management.

The Remote Management page displays.

5. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.

6. In the Allow Remote Access By section, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed

to access the modem router’s remote management.

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as
practical.

Select one of the following:

• Only This Computer. Allow access from a single IP address on the Internet. Enter

the IP address to be allowed access.

• IP Address Range. Allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet.

Enter a beginning IP address and an ending IP address to define the allowed
range.

• Everyone. Allow access from any IP address on the Internet.

7. Specify the port number for accessing the router web interface.

Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote router web interface using
HTTPS. Choose a number from 1024 to 65534, but do not use the number of any
common service port. The default is 8443, which is a common alternate for HTTPS.

8. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.
