N66U Change Admin Port to Host Website?

[gordon]

Hello,

I am trying to expose a web page on ports 80 and 443 behind an N66U but the N66U administration site keeps wanting to take over. I've gotten it to load the index page with port forwarding, but anything after that the N66U pops up "password required".

Can I change the port that N66U listens to for its admin site?

Thanks

Set the web interface to HTTPS only. That will free up port 80.

Hello RMerlin,

I currently have it set up that way. But the website that I am serving uses both HTTPS and HTTP so I need to forward both 80 and 443 to the web server.

Is it possible to change the N66U admin site port to an arbitrary one like :8080? If not through the GUI, I remember I've used your firmware before and had the option to run scripts at startup. Is there any possible way to reroute the router's administration site so that I can redirect both 80 and 443 to a different server?

Thanks,
Gordon

The webui won't let you move its HTTP port, but you can use any HTTPS port that you want (the default is 8443). Just disabling HTTP should let you forward both 80 and 443.

Excellent. I didn't realize. Thank you!
