That is not a solution..
Portscanning is way to easy, and popular..  everyone has a scanner, everyone
uses a scanner..  Changing the port would just make it so that they would
scan for what is there..  Only delay it by a second or two..

The real solution is to remove all such backdoors..  I dont recall about EVER
reading about this in the documentation on the router..  If this is in there,
what else is there?  Is there a back door that would give someone root on the
router?
