How to check if a port is open or closed?

notahappycamper · 2019-04-23 08:08:31

Hi, I’m just wondering is there a way to check if a port is being blocked or not on a router? Is there cmd line that can be run from cmd prompt to check this? Thanks...

Both I think. I’m having issues with wifi calling on my iPhone on my home network which is with Vodafone. The Vodafone router is bridged to my Orbi. Wifi Calling has worked before on it but when I need to reboot the Orbi or there is a firmware update wifi calling doesn’t work for some reason. I didn’t need to open any ports previously so I’m stumped as to what is causing it.

There’s an app called Fing which port scans devices or routers if you choose that option.
