Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80.

 

NETGEAR recommends that you use a different port number for remote

 

management, as using port 80 will prevent the use of a Web Server on your

 

LAN, and can be more readily discovered by hackers. Use the default

 

(8080) or choose a port number between 1 and 65535.
