N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500v2

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.

5. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.

6. When accessing your router from the Internet, type your 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.

USB Settings

For added security, the router can be set up to share only approved USB devices. See

Specify Approved USB Devices on page 53 for the procedure.

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.
