Amazon Echo and Netgear C6300

Hi All,
Thank you for your responses. Always nice when users help each other. I did finally get my Echo working, including timers and alarms, on my Netgear C6300, albeit painfully. Below are the steps I had to take, but know I did these once with no success then decided to do a full factory reset and try again. Everything below worked after a factory reset. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I'v had to perform a factory reset to make my new technology work with this router. Anyway, here is what worked for me:
1- Disable port scan and DoS protection (WAN setup)
2- Enable Repond to ping on Internet port (WAN setup)
3- Select port forwarding to always (port forwarding/port triggering)
4- Create the below six custom services (port forwarding/port triggering) <-- I got this list of ports from Amazon
a. 123 (TCP/UDP)
b. 40317 (TCP/UDP)
c. 49317 (TCP/UDP)
d. 33434 (TCP/UDP)
e. 4070 (TCP)
f. 5353 (UDP)
Everything has been stable for a couple of days, but still holding my breath a bit. Good luck to anyone else!
When you checked the Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection did any of the DoS events still show up in your log?
I am having issues with my Ring doorbell after it has been working for many months just stopped connecting for video and audio but notifications are still working for rings and motion. I tried checking the Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection box but events still show up in my log as if it was still activated.
Thanks,
