reeftronics help

[slipknotgrrl83]

I am trying to set up a reeftronics acct finally to help monitor for power loss etc since I cant afford two ups units (one for apex, one for router) everything is checking out except port 80 is coming up closed and so I cant pass their test to set it up. I have Comcast and I heard they block port 80. I am not sure what to do to get it to work. any help would be appreciated

YAY for Comcast. you will need to do port forwarding within your router to make it work. find a non standard port and use that. I used 7900 on mine and it worked. Tell Reeftronics to look at that port and then have your router forward that port info on to port 80 on your controller.

I'm not tech saavy but I will try. How can I find a non standard port. I have an asus rt-n66u router

And how do I send it to port 80....I'm so confused!

well after fiddling a bit I found a port to use it it worked! ty for that suggestion. I ended up using port 9900 but kept the 80 for the controller!
