Remote Web Admin

[Busdriver]

Hello,
Could someone please guide me through setting up remote web access to the router when I am away from home. My setup is modem>router>computer (linksys wrt54gl & gargoyle)
Thanks BD

Login locally to the router

System tab

Router Access -> Web Access

Remote Web Admin Access -> set to whatever settings you want

You need to have HTTPS set in Web Admin Protocol
in order to have HTTPS remote web access.

Most ISP's will block port 80 access because they don't want
their customers hosting web pages, so you may have to change
the port #'s to non-standard ports.

Then, the way you access the page is as follows:

http://youripaddy:port#youchoose

example - my IP given by ISP is 10.11.12.13 and I choose port 888

so http://10.11.12.13:888/

would take you to your remote web admin page, where you login.

I have tried as you suggest with no luck, does it have anything to do with the modem and router not being the same unit?

Does your router have a firewall?

What you might have to do is put the IP of the Router into
the DMZ zone on the modem.

I suspect your modem or modem's firewall is blocking access
to the router.

Remember, when you put the Router into the DMZ zone on
the modem, your router is connected directly to the internet
and the firewall is now Gargoyle's, not the modem.

The modem firewall is off. The IP from my ISP is in this format 123.160.229.193 rather than 10.0.0.4 format or am I looking at the wrong thing. Also do I set https or http in remote web access?
Thanks I appreciate your time

The 10.0.x range is internal, issued by your router.

You want that 123.x IP because that's what you would access
from remote locations. I would use the HTTPS, its more secure.

I would also change the default port to something different, just
in case your ISP blocks certain ports.

For example, if you chose HTTPS and port 8013 (random)

You would use: https://123.160.229.193:8013/

That should take you to the web gui of the Gargoyle router.
