Remote managemnet port 8080 to be changed

zillah · 21 Mar 2008 at 09:06

Right now I can login remotely to my D-Link Router by using :

http://20x.12x.1xx.4xx:8080,,,,(WAN IP address for D-Link router)

For a security reason, can I change the port number from default value (8080) to 9546,,,or any other numbers ?

Regards

When in the router control panel, can you see a list of services that are running on each port, and does it allow any reassignment of the port number for a given service??

OK, so in the Remote Management section, the Port field currently displays 8080, but the field is editable, so I suggest you try a new number in that field. Just check common port numbers to ensure another common service is not running on the new number you choose, and you might need to consider firewalls, i.e. giving the new number permissions in a firewall, but I'm not certain.

The problem I am far from the router , otherwise I could have changed the port number from the default value and test that, therefore i would like to be sure I am not going to loss the remote connection if I have changed the port number.

Thanks
