I've been experiencing high latency while playing Diablo 2. I have upgraded my network equipment and did some tuning (SQM), but still having issues. I found the ports for the game are showing closed. I tried to forward them through my router (Edgerouter X) with no success. I decided to take the router out of the equation and I connected directly to the modem (MB7420). I had no luck with this either. Then I disabled all software firewalls and security software. Still no luck. I contacted Comcast, and they swear those ports are not blocked by them. I appreciate any help, as I don't know what else to try.
My understanding is, the port opens once something tries to use it, so I was checking the ports while running the game. If I am connected directly to the modem, and have no firewalls requiring port forwarding, why is the port still listed as closed? What am I missing?
If anyone else has Comcast and Diablo 2, I would love for you to confirm they are not blocking these ports. The ports I am trying to open are 6112 and 4000 (TCP).
My networking setup is the Motorola MB7420 cable modem, with Edgerouter X router, and Ubiquiti AC AP Lite (for wireless). I'm using Windows 10.
