Remote Management
The primary means to configure the Cisco RV220W is the Configuration Utility. A
computer on the LAN can access the configuration utility by using the Cisco
RV220W’s LAN IP address and HTTP. You can enable remote management to
allow access from a device on the WAN or Internet, such as your home computer.
To access the Cisco RV220W remotely, you use HTTP over SSL (https).
To support a VPN on this router, you must enable remote management to open the
port used for VPN.

CAUTION
When remote management is enabled, the RV220W is accessible to anyone who
knows its WAN IP address. Since a malicious WAN user can reconfigure the Cisco
RV220W and misuse it in many ways, change the administrator and any guest
passwords before continuing. See
Users, page 163
.
