That's an interesting post - I'm sure that there are a couple of other posts on the forum that mention a "mysterious" port showing as open with a port scan despite remote management being turned off (can't remember the port or the posts I'm afraid - age you know

So I've had the firmware on for a week now. Seems to be stable with the exception of WAN1 (VDSL2) stability. I am sporadically seeing WAN1 disconnect and reconnect. When this does occur there will be multiple diconnects in a period of an hour or so. WAN1 is monitored using a ping detect (setup in WAN >> Internet Access) to ping Google DNS and Open DNS. Not had this issue on previous firmware version. I will continue to monitor this.
I regularly port scan my router using GRC Shields Up. If a port was open it would have to be an obscure port >1024

So I bit the bullet and upgraded anyway as the upgrade is deemed critical.aweaton wrote:
Feedback so far:
- Upgrade was carried out no issue
- large overnight traffic (>40GB) over router based VPN successful. Completed 2 hours before the following issue occurred.
- this morning between 5:31am and 7:03am the router repeatedly lost WAN1 (VDSL2) connection every 3 minutes. Could be coincidental but appeared to be resolved after a hard reboot.
I will keep an eye on this.
