The results should be all stealth ports (not responding to the port probes), but the results are not good (see attached).
More important, port 22 (used for SSH) is open to outside connections!
I just LOVE Shields Up!. Alas, I cannot duplicate those results. When I run Shields Up! on my Windows PC, it report all ports on my public IP are stealth. Also, one of the disappointing things about the Orbi is that Netgear provides telnet access (on the LAN side), but not SSH access. If SSH is not open on the LAN side, it is a "stretch" to think that it would be open on the WAN side.
What ISP device is this Orbi connected to?
Could it be possible that Shields Up! is checking the ISP device rather than the Orbi?
