SBR-AC1750: Remote Management Setup

By default, access to the SBR-AC1750 configuration menu is only accessible from the local network.  However, the SBR-AC1750 can also be configured to be accessible from a remote location.  Whereas local access uses port 80, remote access uses port 8080.  This document describes how to configure the SBR-AC1750 for remote management.

NOTE: The ports used for local and remote access cannot be changed.
