Description

Remote IP Address
It specifies the IP address of the host which can access the web UI of the router remotely.
l 0.0.0.0: It indicates that hosts with any IP address from the Internet can access the web management page of the router. It is not recommended for security.
l Other specified IP address: Only the host with the specified IP address can access the web UI of the router remotely. If the host is under a LAN, ensure that the IP address is the IP address of the gateway of the host (a public IP address).
Port
It specifies the port number of the router which is opened for remote management. Change it as required.
l The port number from 1 to 1024 has been occupied by familiar services. It is strongly recommended to enter a port number from 1025 to 65535 to prevent confliction.
l Remote management can be achieved by visiting “http://the WAN IP address of the router:port number”. If the DDNS host function is enabled, the web UI can also be accessed through “http://the domain name of the router’s WAN port:port number”.
