How to change port for WebGUI on RT-N66U (Merlin) from 80 to other?

Hi all!

How to change port for WebGUI on RT-N66U (latest Merlin firmware) from 80 to something like 8080? I can't find it in settings. I need it to forward port 80 for Synology NAS otherwise it seems that I have a conflict.

Thank you!

Hi,
maybe there is also a way for HTTP, but I only know the option for HTTPS:
If you set 'Authentication Method' to HTTPS under Administration->System, you can choose the HTTPS Lan port (8443 by default). Then port 80 should be free.

Unfortunately this didn't help. There is definitely some type of conflict because port checkers indicate that ports 80, 5000, 5001 is open, but I can't access to Synology DSM from Internet.

if you don't need to access your router-interface from the internet, just simply add a forwarding rule that forwards port 80 to your synology ip... works for me.
