Access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can
enter a different port number. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use

alternate for HTTP.
Click Apply to have your changes take effect.

When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router WAN IP address in your
Internet browser address or location field, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port
number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number
8080, enter: http://134.177.0.123:8080. Be sure to include http:// in the address.
