Trying to open port 44158 on X4S R7800

Question

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.

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.&nbsp;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.

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

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.
