Trying to open port 44158 on X4S R7800

[Just635]

I have spent countless hours trying to open port 44158 for my Helium miner on my R7800 router and I believe that I have done everything correctly and the port still shows up as closed.

I have set my miner to a static IP 192.168.1.200 on the router. I set up port forwarding with protocal TCP and the external and internal port range as 44158 on192.168.1.200. I have had UPnP on and off. I have called my ISP to make sure that there is no firewall on their end and they have told me two separate times that there isn't. I swapped out my cable modem to from my ISP's to one that I bought previously to make sure that isn't the problem.

Nothing seems to work and I am going nuts. Any help on how I can get this fixed would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I have an EX8000 range extender on my network if that helps any. I have made sure that the miner does not connect to that though.

what actual modem are you using? 

[Just635]

Currently using Arris/Motorola SB6141. Previously had a Hitron E31N2V1 provided by Spectrum.

Not a very safe way to do it but have you tried putting the miner in the R7800's dmz?

[Just635]

Yeah, I tried it previously knowing the security risks and took it off quickly right after it didn't work. I just tried again and it did not work, so I took it off the dmz again.

The ping that I am sending to the miner from the port checker is being documented by the router's logs (image attached) even though it is showing up as closed.

I guess the real question is, is it working properly? (other than the port check)

[Just635]

Working properly in what way? I haven't had any issues with the router other than this. 

[plemans]

I just mean is your miner working? 

If the open port scanner is saying its not open but the miner's functioning properly, maybe its the scanner or how the miner is responding to the request.
