¾ Web Management Port - Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP

service port 80. This router’s default remote management web port number is 80.

For greater security, you can change the remote management web interface to a

custom port by entering that number in the box provided. Choose a number

between 1024 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. The default IP address is 0.0.0.0. It means

this function is disabled. To enable this function, change the default IP address to

another IP address as desired.

browser's address (in IE) or Location (in Navigator) box, followed by a colon and

the custom port number. For example, if your Router's WAN address is

202.96.12.8, and the port number you use is 8080, please enter

http://202.96.12.8:8080

in your browser. Later, you may be asked for the router's

password. After successfully entering the username and password, you will be
