Just wondering, I might be going to Tauranga in a few weeks for the weekend, and I would like to know can i still access my router remotely to keep an eye on calling and home network things?

OK I'm going to jump in.

1. Don't do this.  Please, I am begging you.  It's a bad idea.  Trust me on this one.

2. Just don't.

3. If you really must, please set the port to a high port (over 20000) which is less likely to be scanned AND change the password to something very strong.
