Alternative Port for DDNS
I want to access my Synology NAS and my Router interface sperately from each other. But the DDNS always pushes me to Port 1080. So I always get the NAS, never the router. What port is the router on. With previous d-link routers I was able to specify a certain port. I cannot find this useful feature on the R7000.

Ok. Using what, exactly, as a URL? Note that Remote Management
(Fernsteuerung) uses "https://".If, from here, I try the URL on your Fernsteuerung page, _I_ get to
your router (after Firefox complains about the certificate):https://xxxxxxxx.mynetgear.com:8080 is requesting your username
and password. The site says: "NETGEAR R7000P"(And then, when I fail to put in the right user+pass, it starts trying
to "help" me with a "Router-Passwort wiederhergestellt" page. I don't
know your serial number, either.)"http://xxxxxxxx.mynetgear.com:1080" takes me to a "Heikos
Homeserver" page (for which I also have no valid credentials). I assume
that that's your NAS.
So, I see no obvious problem. Are you trying to access your
Fernsteuerung URL from the outside world, or from a system on your LAN?
Around here (D7000[v1], V1.0.1.74_1.0.1), I fail to reach my own Remote
Management site (Firefox: "The connection has timed out") from a system
on my LAN. I might call that a firmware bug.Interestingly, in general, NAT loopback works for me. I can get to
my own web server using "http[s]://<my_public_IP_address" from my LAN,
but not to the D7000 Remote Management site, using the recommended URL
(same address, different port). (I don't know if I've ever tried to use
Remote Management from some remote location, so I can't say with
certainty that that works. But I assume so.)

Is it an R7000 or an R7000P? Firmware version?

What, exactly, are you doing? What, exactly, happens when you do
it? What makes you think that DDNS has anything to do with any port
number? So far as I know, DDNS (or DNS in general) deals with DNS names
and IP addresses, not port numbers.

"specify" what? Where? How? Are you talking about a port number in
a URL, or a router setting, or what?Yes I get you point. Not enough usable info. Let me try to improve
the situation. Sorry for that and thank you for you time...> [...] on the R7000.

### It is the R7000P
Is it an R7000 or an R7000P? Firmware version?

### Description is wrong anyways. I found the option again.
it exists on the R7000P as well and I configured 8080 as thededicated port. But it does not work (err empty response)

"specify" what? Where? How? Are you talking about a port number in
a URL, or a router setting, or what?### I am talking about a router setting, which I rediscovered

Port forwarding
