WNDR4500v2 E-Mail port number
How can I define the port number? Cant find a spot to use here
- Nov 08, 2017
The model has been considered EOL for awhile now and there will be no future firmware enhancements that will be released.

What are you trying to do? Set up email alerts?
There is a manual for the WNDR4500v2 somewhere at the end of this link:
>>> WNDR4500v2 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<
See page 74.

I need to specify port number too, 587 for this one
Is it posible? Or it comes in next update?

If it isn't available already, that isn't the sort of thing that new firmware is likely to add.
On my device it is in:
- Advanced
- Security

But there are no space for port number

Still true.
> But there are no space for port number
Huh? Is there a place to put the Mail Server name/address? Can you
add ":587" to what you have there now? It's not complicated.

Can't (yet) see the picture. A plain-text description might appear
sooner.
I know nothing about these routers' e-mail capabilities, but a
standard notation would be "<name_or_address>:<port>". Adding ":587" to
the Mail Server name/address should be an easy experiment to run.
