What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?To accrately check the port status, you have to be activly using the ports prior to testing the status.
Be sure uPnP is disabled on the RBR as well if you have PF configurations enabled.
Firmware V2.5.1.16
Connected to fiber/router thats in Bridge mode, and use ORBI as router.
Have tryed to check/ uncheck UPnP.
The only port thas open, are the one for remotecontrol of the router.
No else port are open ?
It's up to the client app or a device to be actively using the port to check port status. If the port is not being used actively, then the port will be closed and report as such. Just be cause you set the port configuration on the router doesn't mean the port will be opened. Only when a app or device accesses the port will the port status change.
