If your router is connected to the internet then use the public IP assigned to the interface of the router?
Then telnet to the ip.
Make sure you have username and password set up as well as enable password.
Then in the VTY config set up for login
Router(config)# username <username> privilege 15 password 0 <password>
!
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# privilege level 15
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)# exit
The key to all of this is to have a public IP on the router interface, OR a way to telnet from a machine at the house if using private IP on router connected to network. The important piece is a public IP is needed.
