Specify the port number for accessing the cable modem router’s web pages.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for remote access to the cable modem router
web pages. Choose a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of
any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.

Use Remote Access
To use remote access:
1. Launch an Internet browser on a computer that is not on your home network.
2. Type your cable modem router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or
location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number.
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number
8080, enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.
