Access to OS X Server site blocked by router

My OSX Server was working well when I was connected directly to the internet, had a site and domain name. Today I added a wireless router, now trying to access the sites requires the usename and password of the router. How do I bypass authentication for requests bound to the Server sites? My inetrnal IPv4 address 192.168.1.33 shows the correct site.

The router probably intercepts all network traffic and has default webservices enabled.

Every web requests is not being relayed, but stops at your new wireless router.

You need to disable certain services on the router and enable port forwarding, so a request for the server website gets through to the right address.

Read the manual of your new wireless router and disable/enable services if needed.

Goodluck
