grayed out settings

[AllenT4546]

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.
