you need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended
that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management
feature of your Router.

Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that
you can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The
timer starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have
made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your
computer alone without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the time-out is
set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session
will expire. You will have to log into the Router again to make any
more changes. The login time-out option is for security purposes and
the default is set to 10 minutes.
Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced
setup interface at one time.
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the
system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the
Router is used to record the security log and control client filtering.
Select desired NTP time servers and the time zone that you reside
in, then click “Apply Changes”. The system clock may not update
immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the
time servers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the
clock yourself.

Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote
management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings
from anywhere on the Internet.
Click on the “Change Settings” button to bring up the “Remote
Management” page.
There are two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first
is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by
selecting “Any IP address can remotely manage the Router”. By
typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet,
you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in
the password of your Router.
The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely
manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use
this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the
Router from in the space provided and select “Only this IP address
can remotely manage the Router”. Before you enable this function,
it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator
password. Leaving the password empty will potentially open your
Router to intrusion.
