How to allow remote access to your router
management page
Management > Remote Management
You may want to make changes to your router from a remote location
such at your office or another location while away from your home.
1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your
router management page” on page 11).
2. Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.
3. Under the HTTP section, click Enabled.
Port– It is recommended to leave this setting as 8080.
Note: If you have configured port 8080 for another configuration
section such as virtual server or special application, please change
the port to use.
(Recommended port range 1024-65534)
Remote IP Range – It is recommended to leave this setting as *,
to allow remote access from anywhere on the Internet.
Note: You can enter a specific range of Internet IP addresses that
are allowed to access your router management page, all others
will be denied.

How to expose a device on your network to the
Internet
Access > DMZ
You may want to expose a specific computer or device on your network
to the Internet to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ
(demilitarized zone) feature that makes all the ports and services
available on the WAN/Internet side of the router and forwards them to a
single IP address (computer or network device) on your network. The
DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet
however, it is also very insecure method.
It is strongly recommended to use virtual server (also called port
forwarding, see “How to allow access using virtual server” on page 31)
instead, to allow access to your computers or network devices from the
Internet.
1. Make sure to configure your computer or network device to use a
static IP address or you can use the DHCP reservation feature (see “How
to setup DHCP reservation” on page 17).
2. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your
router management page” on page 11).
3. Click on Access, and click on DMZ.
4. Next to DMZ Enable, click Enabled.
5. Next to DMZ Host IP, enter the IP address you assigned to the
computer or network device to expose to the Internet.
6. To save changes, click Apply.
