port 80. This Router's default remote management web port number is 80. For greater

security, you can change the remote management web port to a custom port by entering that

number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1 and 65534 but do not use the

number of any common service port.

¾ Remote Management IP Address - This is the current address you will use when accessing

your Router from the Internet. This function is disabled when the IP address is set to the

255.255.255.255, then all the hosts can access the Router from internet.
