Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. • To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select the IP Address Range radio button. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range. • To specify IP addresses, select the IP Address List radio button and type in the allowed IP addresses. • To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select the Everyone radio button. 4.

The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP. 5. Click the Apply button. Your changes take effect. 6. When you access your router from the Internet, type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number.
