to connect to servers on the World Wide Web. HTTPS - Uses SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt data
transmitted for higher security. Select HTTP or HTTPS. Wireless Access Web - If you are using your Wireless
Router in a public domain where you are giving wireless access to your guests, you can disable wireless access
to the Router’s web-based utility. You will only be able to access the web-based utility via a wired connection if
you disable the setting. Select Enable to enable wireless access to the Router’s web-based utility or Disable to
disable wireless access to the utility.

Then, enter the port number that will be open to outside access. You will need to enter the Router’s password
when accessing the Router this way, as usual.
