I had to do a factory reset of my RAX120 and I'm on firmware V1.2.3.28. I tried to enable UPnP but none of the services kicked in (like NAS boxes external access).
I tried to open ports for the services that were open previously like FTP 21 but when I go test it from the outside the port shows as closed.
Isn't UPnP supposed to add the service automatically? What can I try to resolve this issue?
You shouldn't be using UPnP as it's a security risk. Google a bit to read why
If you're using an online port checker, there needs to be something listening on the specific port for it to report it as open. If there's nothing listening, it'll report it as closed.
Thank you, I'm familiar with UPnP, like I mentioned I have the current devices that are plugged and were plugged before the reset and all active. I did a quick test putting one of the devices on DMZ and test the ports with a port scanner and they were still closed.
Anyway UPnP should have worked but instead it didn't open any port at the request of the device. My manual port forwarding didn't work.

The ONT is the latest FIOS Gigabit one, it's a small black one, not the old white wall box.
As it turns out it took 8 hours for the ports to actually open and work, I wonder what caused the delay because with the previous system port forwarding was instant.
