Unable to connect to any external FTP servers
Hi I have a really weird issue where my brand new PC build will not connect to ANY external FTP sites using any FTP software Filezilla, Cuteftp, WinSCP etc other PC's on the same network can connect ...
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

Hi, and thanks for taking the time to reply.
Sorry I should have stated that it is connected to a Virgin Media Superhub v3 that is in modem only mode, which works fine when connected to "other" brand routers.
So far this is the only issue I have noticed with this router, I find it very strange that it will not successfully connect to any of my webservers via FTP, SSH seems to work just fine however.
Also to note a few of my webservers use different FTP ports but I cannot connect successfully to any of them on my main PC which is hardwired to the XR500, I have even tried over WiFi and using a USB3 to gigabit ethernet adapter. My old PC can still connect to any of the servers without a single issue hardwired to the XR500 or by WiFi.
One last note I also have a netduma R1 which is connected to a BT Fibre Homehub and that can also connect to all my servers via FTP on my new and old PC without issue so it has to be something the XR500 is doing that is preventing me from using my own servers.
