ROUTER SECURITY
When the router is
congured to use the
advanced security
mode, several
aspects of the
routers conguration
and networking
functionality will be extended to support high security environments. This
includes support for multiple user accounts, increased password security
and additional network spoong lters. If you plan to use your router in a
PCI DSS compliant environment this option is mandatory.
REMOTE ADMIN
Remote Management allows a user to enable incoming
WAN pings or change settings for the router from the
Internet using the router’s Internet address.
Allow WAN pings – When enabled the functionality
allows an external WAN client to ping the router.
Allow Remote Web Administration – When remote
administration is enabled it allows access to these
administration web pages from the Internet. With it
disabled, you must be a client on the local network to
access the administration website. For security, remote
access is usually done via a non-standard http port.
Additionally, encrypted connections can be required for an added level of security.
• Require HTTPS Connection – Requiring a secure (https) connection is recommended
