Web interface does not load, forwarded port 80

[ambienthtc]

Well my own mistake ignoring the warning about may cause conflicts after turning on port forwarding for port 80.
Now typing in the router IP does not bring up the web interface anymore, is there a way around this other then resetting the router?

If you have telnet enabled, you can connect through telnet to change the port number manually.

If not... You could try unplugging the WAN cable and rebooting the router. See if the webui becomes available then while there is no WAN connection (it might possibly disable the port forwards). Otherwise, you will need to do a factory default reset most likely.

I sadly did not enable telnet, I will give your suggestion a try this weekend while I can have the router offline and will report back either way. I am pretty sure I will have to reset but was willing to try other options first.

One side note, do you know what the default settings backup file name looks like? even the extension. I am 90% sure I made a backup before this last setting but I can recall where I saved is so if I at least know the extension or general format I can search my server and usb drives.

I don't think it has a default name. If it does, it would be the router's name (RT-AC66U for example). The extension is either .cfg or .CFG (I don't recall for sure, and ain't at home to check).

On my RT-AC66R, the default file name is Settings_RT-AC66R.CFG.

Awesome, found it on the computer I used to set it up! I will just inspect the file for that port mapping and edit it before I upload it!

Saved me a ton of work on routing tables and port mapping. Next time I will head the warnings of may cause a conflict LOL.
