[help] TM802 port forwarding

Hello, does anybody know a way to check if ports are open on with the Arris TM802, and if they are not, how does one port forward?

The TM802 is a cable modem (eMTA - embedded multimedia terminal adapter) - you don't have any access to the "working internals".

What port or ports are you trying to deal with for what protocol? Do you have a router?

No router, it's for utorrent, downloading is fast, upload is slow....

I'll point you to this
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po ··· rwarding
and note that most discussions are in the context of a router. Which you aren't using, so it doesn't apply. As I said, there are no user-configurable items within the TM802.

You might want to start a thread in the »Filesharing Software forum - someone might know of a configuration trick for your client software that could help. Post the client you're using and the service you're having "issues" with.

The TM802 acts like a bridge, and does not affect the data in any way.

If a port is blocked by the modem, it would drop all traffic, not just slow it down. The fact that some gets through is proof enough that it's open.

Over in the other thread (»New Firmware- TM822G) , I identified your TM802 cable modem as BROKEN, because it's holding onto a stone-old software version (7.3.65) that CV upgraded to 7.3.123 over TWO YEARS ago - and a reboot on your part did not fix this. A modem that fails to upgrade has a high chance of being broken in multiple other ways - it can't be trusted to provide predictable or stable service - at all.

Thus: Why am I not surprised that you're reporting service problems of ANY kind?
Does this in any shape or form come, err: unexpected for anyone here?

Fix the things that you were told you have to fix first.
Self-diagnostics and self-medication, as evidenced in THIS thread, is counterproductive for you.
