If you have Remote Management enabled.

    You can enable remote management by going to your web gui (typically 192.168.1.1) then click ADVANCED tab then click ADVANCED SETUP on left side and then REMOTE MANAGEMENT

     

    Put a check in TURN REMOTE MANAGEMENT ON and pay attention to your remote management address below that.

     

    Note the port number that management is done by and where you can limit who can do remote access.
