R7000 V1.0.11.136_10.2.120 port 520 is visible and closed (not stealth)
Doing a port scan on the R7000 with the latest 2 version of the firmware shows that port 520 is closed but not stealth. Port 520 is "efs" extended file name server. This might be the internal USB R...
I was curious about this as well so I put my R7000 online with CM1200 modem.
I had v.134 loaded then also loaded v.136 and factory reset the router and setup from scratch.
Both report port 520 is Stealth'd:

Well I cant se what use a screenshot can do. But anyway, here it is.
Found I was having Rip v1 enabled. Tried to disable RIP. But doing that exposed port 68 also as closed.
And also port 520 was still visible. And as I sometimes uses a Wi-Fi extender I will leave RIP enabled.
Reenabling it, makes port 68 stealth again.
I was wandering if it is possible to find some of the old firmware versions.
Last two firmware updates has this 'BUG'. But I know for sure, that the version prior to this, was 100% stealth.
Cant remember the version number.

Will try and do a new factory reset. And then try again.
I will be back....... with an update.Seems factory reset, and manual setup did the trick. (did not load the backup config)
Thanks FURRYe38Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a new back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
