I tried to test the ports from my Macbook. I was able to telnet to router port 23 but not 22. Am I confusing myself?
nc -vz <router_ip_address> 23
Connection to <router_ip_address> port 23 [tcp/telnet] succeeded!
nc -vz <router_ip_address> 22
nc: connectx to <router_ip_address> port 22 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
