Hey guys,

At work we have moved from a HG659 to a Ultrahub for our 2nd connection. Trying to forward port 80 and it says Reserved for internal use. Also tried to DMZ as a temp fix (only temp don't panic) but it specified it won't do a bunch, including 80.

I don't mind changing the access port for the gui but I can't find it? Can I achieve this at all or do I need to get another router.

Cheers

The Ultra hub does not do port 80 forwarding as it reserves the port for remote access to its own menu.

You'll need to use an HG659 or alternate router instead.

DMZ should never even be a temporary fix. You expose everything including ports that shouldn't ever be on the internet and the internet is a very hostile place.

I flicked you a private message with more information given this is a rather serious security oversight. You're better to create a port forward to another port (eg 8080) than expose a server via a DMZ. It is not an if this will be pwned, it is a when this will get pwned.
