CAX80 has open port from WAN side
Hi
I am testing my new CAX80 from the WAN side using several firewall tester websites.
I found one open port and would like to close it.
I tried blocking the TCP port using CAX80's Advanced -> Security -> Block Services. But it doesn't work. I rebooted the modem/router and tested again but the port is still open.
It is TCP 7547. The response is
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Thanks.

Thanks for the link. They recommend disabling TR-069 in the router or port forwarding it to an unused IP address. I will try these approaches and see how it goes.
Thanks.
