Most Service Ports No Longer In Stealth Mode
Greetings, I have the following NETGEAR product:
Nighthawk 4-Stream AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (RAX10) Serial Number:
All of my router's service ports used to be in stealth mode. Testing was done a...
Sadly same issue here out of the first 1024 ports only 3 are stealth all other are closed.
(my RAX10 is on firmware version 1.0.19.172)
When i disabled the "protection engine" all ports do go stealth.
I too have have a Netgear product:
Nighthawk Tri-band AX8 8-Stream AX6600 WiFi 6 Router
All of my router's ports used to be in stealth mode too.
Testing was done at ShieldsUP (https://www.grc.com/shieldsup).
After applying the latest update, all of my service ports are closed but only about a dozen are in stealth mode randomly.
Router Firmware Version prior to update V1.0.15.146
Router Firmware Version after update V1.0.19.172
I have the same issue, as yet unresolved.
What gives Netgear? There is no update on the website for router firmware (RAX 70) version V1.0.19.172. And yet the routers' UI showed me that there was an update.
Thank You for your input!
Hopefully, NETGEAR will have a solution for us soon.
I also noticed a discrepancy between what firmware is available on the website and the update available through the router UI.
The website shows that only Router Firmware Version V1.0.18.164 is available for download and manual installation. The router UI shows that the latest Router Firmware Version is V1.0.19.172.
I love IT. Everyday is a new challenge!
