If your Webserver and your router's admin pages are both on port 80 then there will be a conflict. This will only be a problem(ii think) if you've enabled management of your router on it's WAN interface.
If you think about it logically, I put your IP address in to a browser address bar, my browser then connects to your router and ask for a relpy on port 80, the router says "hey, I service/reply to request on that port". Depending on the router, if you've also got a port forward for port 80 to a PC on your LAN, you've probably totaly confused the router.
Can you move the web management of your router to a different port(this can be done on most router, but not all)?
This will have no effect on your browsing, whether you port forward port 80 or not.
