Hi Matt,
I appreciate your time/input on this.
However, I still don't understand how it is working for you when I have been doing just the same.
Can I confirm that you just typed the IP address appended with ":8080" to access the router?
PT7777

Correct.

It is possible that the other locations you have tried it from, do not allow outbound port 8080 access.?

Matt

OK
Can you identify a proxy server that'll show it working from here??
PT7777

None that I know of that will allow access to that port.

Matt

What's so special about this port that sites would want to block it?
Is there another port I can try that's unlikely to be blocked?
PT7777

I mean the computer or network you are trying from might block it due to firewall walls.

Proxy sites, generally speaking will only give access to port 80 or 443 as they are the most common web ports. People generally don't need to access higher ports like 8080.

Ok Matt,
I'll have to test this from somewhere else tomorrow (daytime).
Regards,

Given xilo has shown the web admin is working, time to move onto the web server and get that up and running, and if this is on port 80 then most of the proxy and other confusion will go away.

Best testing is another connection that does not use a proxy, i.e. proxies can cause all sorts of confusion

Is anyone else wondering why the OP needs/wants the router's admin pages accessible? Surely he needs to be forwarding to the camera's (web)server?

Yeap am wondering, perhaps they thought it was a good test of the static ip side of things
