Use caution when setting this, as it will keep the port open permanently, but the password will be lost upon a reboot of the router.

=== Bugs with permanent access===
 
1.# If the router is rebooted, then access to the router will be lost as the password is not saved during a reboot. - you will need to access the router (from the LAN) and disable and re-enable the remote access. - this will generate a new password and port to use.
