grayed out settings

When I go into my router settings I find a lot of them grayed out. I cannot go into LAN settings or port forwarding and a lot of other settings. Why is this? Am I missing something?

       Is that accurate?  Firmware version?  Connected to what?

       Is your router configured as a wireless access point?

       On some models (firmware versions), that status is mentioned
    prominently (in yellow?) near the model number on its management web
    site pages.  Otherwise, a "router" LAN IP address which does _not_ end

    in ".1" might be a hint.
