Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security,
you can change the remote management Web interface to a custom port by entering that
number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the
number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for
HTTP.
The IP Address to connect to this device is used to manage this router via the Internet. You

need its public IP Address, as seen from the Internet. This public IP Address is allocated by
your ISP, and is shown here. But if your ISP account uses a Dynamic IP Address, the address
can change each time you connect to your ISP. There are 2 solutions to this problem:

a.
Use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature so you can connect using a domain name, rather
b.

Click Apply to have your changes take effect.

When accessing your router from the Internet, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be enabled.
You will enter https:// and type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's Address (in IE)
or Location (in Netscape) box, 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 in your browser:
https://134.177.0.123:8080
Note: When you remotely connect to the FVL with a browser via SSL, you may get a message
regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 5.5
or higher, simply click Yes to accept the certificate.
Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can always identify the IP
address of your FVL328 by running
example,
tracert yourFVL328.mynetgear.ne
