No longer able to access router over WAN

[Mr Monkey]

I'm new here, been using Merlin's FW for a month or two already and been extremely happy with my AC66U. I know there used to be a setting to enable router management over WAN and I used it a lot recently, however since updated to 374.39 I seem to have lost that option and can't find it anywhere in the settings. Am I going crazy or did that option disappear?

Thanks.

The option should still be there, under Administration ->*System.

Yeah, you cray.

Ah, it is there. However, looks like what changed may have been the port number. Is that new in 374.39 maybe? Now it uses port 8080 by default.

Thanks Merlin!

Nothing changed there. WAN port has always been 8080 by default (and 8443 for HTTPS).
