Dear Friends,
As an absolute layman, I have some troubles and questions regarding my home network. I have the following configuration: provider (dynamic IP address) - router DIR 635 - switch - PC, laptop, NAS (synology DS213). I would like to do the following:
 1. how can I enable the remote control of my router DIR 635 ?
2. how can I have access to my NAS via internet (LAN works fine, but via internet ....)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Link>Welcome!
What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values
For DSL/PPPoE connectionds on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.

Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router.
Turn off ALL QoS or Disable Traffic Shaping (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual or under Setup/PARENTAL CONTROL/Set to>None: Static IP or Obtain Automatically From ISP.
Enable Use Unicasting (compatibility for some ISP DHCP Servers) under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If IPv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only or Disable IPv6 options under Setup/IPv6.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking. Disable uPnP for testing Port Forwarding rules. Enable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming for routers that have a Media Server option. Disable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming if IPv6 or Media Server is not being used.
Turn off WISH, and WPS under Advanced.
WAN Port Speed set to Auto or specific speed? Some newer ISP modems support 1000Mb so manually setting to Gb speeds can be supported by the router. Advanced/Advanced Networking/WAN Port Speed
Set current Time Zone, Date and Time. Use an NTP server feature. Tools/Time.

To enable remote management, go to Tools/Admin and Enable Remote Management : Check mark.
You can assign a port or leave it as the default. Save Settings and restart. Now when you are say at work or at a friends house or traveling, input your WAN IP address, the address the router gets from the ISP service and the port number that was listed when you enabled this feature in the following format in to a web browser:
http://##.##.###.###:8080

If everything is set up right, the routers web page will appear, log in normally.

Is this link to a open access share?
I'm seeing the following: "You need permission to access this item."

If this is information on setting up D-Link routers for remote access, Let make a sticky and post in here in the forums locally instead of linking to a site that maybe eventually move, or not able to access in the future.

Thank you.

Yes, this is information on setting up D-Link routers for Virtual Server.

I know I should attach file to the post but my "Additional Options..." did NOT have the attach option. ><

Can you let me know how to enable it?

Thank you.
