CM500V-1STAUS is a bridged modem. It has capability to block the ports unless Optus themselves blocks using docsis L2 or L3 filters or firewalls.

I meant "It has NO capability" ..
you might to check with Optus as this is specific product customized for Optus according to their requirements.
also, test with device directly connected behind CM.

Did you have any luck here?
I'm having the exact same issue - same modem, also Optus, all other pots working inbound except port 80. Optus & Netgear sending me in circles.
