Note that not all routers offer port reassignment as described here. However, having different external
port numbers is not strictly necessary; it is suggested as an extra security precaution to avoid using the
well-known port assignments for web (80) and FTP (21) on the general Internet. The Gateway's web and FTP
servers are both password protected, so the risks are low. In a case where no port forwarding is available, the
Gateway direct port numbers (80, 21, 8000, 1000) would be used without specifying different external ports
for 80 and 21.
