C6300 v2, port 22 blocked while in DMZ
Cable modem with wifi router model C6300 v2 firmware v1.03.06. IP version 6 firewall disabled. Tested from outside that port forwarding of 22 and 80 works OK when set up through port forwarding. ...

Something to ask NG to see if there going to fix. If not, then you might want to configure the modem for modem mode only and then connect a external wifi router that has a better DMZ feature.
Review the user manual for modem features that are included on the modem. Most firewalls are automatic and no seen. Using Port Forwarding or Triggering will configure ports when need thru the firewall.
Good Luck.

Tech support now says ports 22 and 23 are blocked while in DMZ. They claim all other ports are open. From my standpoint, this blocking was done on purpose so I suspect it will not be fixed.
This should at least be in the product documentation, as people make the assumption that DMZ opens all ports. Somewhere is a Netgear product manager who should be doing some 'splaining.
I suppose I will remap ssh to a different port. This is non-standard, so it will cause doc and usage hassles for me and my friends.

I recommened changing the modem to modem mode and finding a external router that you can use and has better DMZ support.
Good Luck.
