Has anyone experienced this, I have removed the Telus router, put in my own ONT device, my router is working it gains its own public IP correctly. I have set up port forwarding but Telus is STILL Blocking all incoming ports.
What gives, I am paying for 1gig up and down, I should be able to run a simple game server to play with friends at home, but due to Telus blocking all ports I cannot even with my own hardware. I fully understand how to enable and configure port forwarding and have used this same router in the past on NOVUS Fiber which did not block anything. After all my reading and research I thought removing the Telus ONT/Router Actiontec 3200M would solve the issue.
I put the Telus provided router into bridge mode that did not work, I remove the Telus router altogether that did not work, why can I not have a basic function of home internet?
Telus is the only fibre service offered in my area so I'm locked into a monopoly essentially this is unacceptable anyone has advice on how to get more ports opened?
I can't run a plex server, I can't run a simple game server, think something as basic as Minecraft for the kids. Nothing that gives Telus!
Tech support simply says "It's out of our scope of what we support" Fancy way of saying you must buy BUSINESS INTERNET if you want to have access to ports is a terrible practice.
