R7000 Port Forward HTTP/80 no working - firmware version V1.0.6.28_1.1.83
Today I upgraded my NETGEAR R7000 firmware to "V1.0.6.28_1.1.83." I was previously running "V1.0.5.48_1.1.79" but neither firmware version allows me to forward HTTP (port 80) to my internal web serve...
I found this blurb from TELUS which states the ports they block: TELUS HSIA Security Measures Policy. In case the link breaks or TELUS moves the web page these are the ports which are listed (at the time of writing this post):
Port 21 (ftp)
Port 25 (smtp)
Port 80 (https)
Port 110 (pop3)
Port 6667 (ircd)
Ports 135-139 (dcom and netbios)
Port 443 (ssl)
Port 445 (ms-ds)
Port 1433-1434 (ms-ql)I hope this helps others!
Hi Searay,
Yes I tried downgrading to firmware version "V1.0.4.30_1.1.67" but am still unable to port forward. I could try one of the older 1.04 versions but I don't feel like taking this any further. Based on the User Guide and simple fact that the router management interface provides the option to forward traffic over HTTP (Port 80) I am convinced it is one of two problems:
1) Router firmware issue
2) My ISP is blocking port 80
I am going to place a call with with ISP (Canadian Service provider TELUS) and post back when I have the answer.
Thanks for your reply Searay. I very much appreciate the input!
Stay on FW 1.0.4.30. Is remote management turned on? If so turn it off.
Hi Leeh, turning remote management on or off does not change anything. Thanks for your reply.
bskoreyko I would still turn remote management off due to a security vulnerability. Sorry to hear it didn't help with your problem.

Remote Management is off. I have other ways of remoting in. Good point for those who don't understand what way to access their home network. I personally like VPN or Tunneling in via a Putty session.
