If the question is whether you can enable remote access to your router, the answer is yes. You just have to configure in the router's settings (requires local admin access to configure).

See page 50 of the manual: https://static.tp-link.com/2017/201712/20171215/1910012310_TL-WR940N_V6_UG.pdf

Whether it is safe is debatable. I recommend disabling this feature for most users. It does create an access point into your network from external threats. Why do you want to enable this feature?

Just as a heads up on this. According to your ISP you may have a static or dynamic IP with the latter being more common. If so you will need to install and use an IP updater service so that you can actually 'find' your addy while away.

Are you wanting to access this via WiFi, or through the internet?

Via WiFi is almost certainly not possible, and very unsafe if you do.
Via the internet is probably possible, but unsafe if you do.

What are you actually trying to do, and why?

Port forwarding and remote access are not related. Sounds like your assignment is to configure port forwarding and then your instructor will access your router to verify. Odd way of testing your knowledge.

Oh my that's bad.

I'd give extra credit to the student who knew how to do that, but didn't and instead described the multiple reasons that is a bad idea.
