Since I have had the new NF18ACV router I am unable to successfully change the HTTP management port on the router. By default it is on port 80. However I want to run a webserver which requires NAT on 80. So I tried changing "management - services control - HTTP LAN from port 80 to 8000 (or also 8080). When I do this I get the login box but then the webui hangs and does not load. I have done a factory defaults reset after each try but still not able to successfully change the service port.

Is this an oddity with the Orcon firmware:

NF18ACV

firmware: NF18ACV.NC.Vocus-R6B038.EN

Have you tried just forwarding the port? From memory, those routers will automatically remap themselves when you do, and advise you as such. Worth a swing, might be an easier fix.
