At this page, the DI-624 administrator can change the system password. There are two
accounts that can access the Broadband Router’s Web-Management interface. They
are admin and user. Admin has read/write access while user has read-only access. User
can only view the settings but cannot make any changes.
Remote Management- Remote management allows the DI-624 to be configured from
the Internet by a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the
Web-Management interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the
built-in web pages to perform Administrator tasks. This feature enables you to perform
Administrator tasks from the remote (Internet) host.

Router. If you input an asterisk (*) into this field, then any computer will be able to access
