Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose
a number from 1024 through 65535, but do not use the number of any common service
port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.

When accessing your modem router from the Internet, type your modem router’s WAN IP
address into your browser’s 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
in your browser.
Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
to access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
Note:
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging
or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable
UPnP.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
