Hi there. I need to know how I can change the port the Genius White router listens on as I am making a home based website so far anyone outside get's redirected to the router homepage and that's not what I want I need it to direct to the website I am building.

Thanks.

It might help to explain what you've actually configured. Unless you've explicitly enabled the service to enable the router admin on the WAN port it will NOT be accessible from outside your network.

To connect to your server simply create a port forward for port 80 or 443 to the server your content is hosted on.

I'm no expert but these are the things you could do :

- Make sure WAN HTTP is disabled (Management -> Access Control Services)
- Add a port forward for External Port (80 or 443) to your local machine/server's IP address and listening port (e.g. 8080)
- You might need to add a host entry on your local machine to resolve the domain to your internal address (if LAN Loopback doesn't work)

That's the thing I haven't which is a major issue because it is actually opened. Here are the services control image in case I'm wrong and btw these are at default.

Okay I've managed to some how fix that by yes moving the port to something else and yes replacing it with the website on port 80(thanks blackhand). It works fantastic now.
