v7.2.7.15 Firmware on RBR 850. Can someone run GRC.com Shields Up

Question

Can you please run Grc.com’s shields up and let me know if you can get full stealth?

This is the best I can get.

I am running Armor. Is that causing ports to appear closed?

Is this with nothing else connected to the RBR850 accept for one wired PC and Armor diabled with a single broswer opening to only the GRC web page?&nbsp;

It’s with 50 or so items on the guest network.. and 10 or so on the primary WiFi.

I also have two RBS 850s connected.

I do have a host that is also hardwired.

I do have armor enabled, it didn’t change much if I disabled it.

The url was opened on an iPad on the primary WiFi

To get a most accurate result from GRC, you can't have anything else connected as those devices can induce connections of there own and either open or cause ports to be seen by GRC to be incorrectly tested. Why only tesing with one ethernet connected PC and one web browser opened to GRC can test the router out correctly.&nbsp;

Ok, here's my RBR850 stand alone connected to a CAX80 cable modem in modem only mode, with nothing else connected behind it accept for the one ethernet connected PC and web browser, MS Edge:

Mostly similar to what you see with yours. No Armor or SPC enabled here.&nbsp;
Not sure what has those ports stealthed. Possible some Protection Engine features that may be a factor here. Something we don't have control over on Orbi systems.&nbsp;😔
