    Yep. Depends on your router which you never specified. Some routers
    have remote logon. After all, they are simply running a web server for
    you to get at its admin pages. You will need to see if your router
    supports remote logon, enable it, and be damn sure to use a strong
    username and a strong password to prevent cracking.
