You can also change the administrator login policies:

Disable login. Deny login access.

You obviously do not want to deny login access to yourself if you are 

logged in as an administrator.

Deny login access from a WAN interface. By default, the administrator cannot log in from 
a WAN interface. You can change this setting to allow login access from a WAN interface.

Deny or allow login access from specific IP addresses. By default, the administrator can 
log in from any IP address. 

For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP 

addresses as practical.

Deny or allow login access from specific browsers. By default, the administrator can log in 
from any browser.

In general, these policy settings work well for an administrator. However, you can change the 
administrator login policies as explained in 

Configure Remote Management Access

through a WAN interface is granted (see 

page 306), the wireless VPN firewall’s web management interface is 
accessible to anyone who knows its IP address and default 
password. Because a malicious WAN user can reconfigure the 
wireless VPN firewall and misuse it in many ways, NETGEAR highly 
recommends that you change the admin and guest default 
passwords before continuing (see
