R8500-V1.0.2.80_1.0.71 - Port 68 shows closed NOT Stealth

Here we go again. I just got around to checking this and sure enough the Port 68 closed problem is back! I will not use a firmware that does not stealth ALL my ports.   Went back to DDWRT and ALL ...

    I reset modem, reflashed firmware, reset again then manually put in my settings.

    No ALL Stealth.

What are you using to scan the ports. My port 68 is stealth as are the rest.

Shields up. Port 68 is Blue all others are green.

 

I install DDWRT and everything is stealth. Why is this? Its not my ISP for sure.

        I did that with 2 different Pc's same result. Thats the first thing I did.

        I then thought it may be my ISP but that was proved wrong when I installed DDWRT.

        Everything went Stealth on ALL pc's.

         

        My seup had 15 static ip's, QOS on. UPNP disabled. Nothing fancy but that port not showing stealth 

        really bothers me.
