Can anyone help me please. I have turned my virgin router into modem only. setup the Archer AX11000.
it picked up dynamic ip. got everything working but when i go to shields up it shows port 135,137,139,445 ports closed but not in stealth so failed test. what can I do to make them go into stealth. it was passing the test when just on the superhub 3. thanks in. response.

Yes it’s unticked. When I run on my mobile it’s fine. Just on both pc and iPad they show blocked but not stealth. Would this be a concern.

Just gone back to the normal super hub 3 and still everything failed. Even the mobile I must have been on the data not WiFi. 4 ports show blue not green so not in stealth just closed. Both pc, iPad, MacBook, and mobiles all same. I’m at a loss. Is this anything to worry about.

Looks like standard behaviour and blocked by Virgin: https://www.virginmedia.com/help/virgin-media-blocked-internet-ports

My guess they're blocked upstream from your router and so if they do get probed then it'll be before it gets anywhere near you. I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you ever so much was a bit worried for a while. you put my mind a rest. thanks again for your help. and everyone else
