Local pizza shop owner was getting attacks on router, the POS system was crashing, not printing etc. <br />

He called Comcast and tech said router was being attacked from outside and they could not help.<br />

Is it normal for port forwarding to be turned on for these ports? &nbsp;Does it have anything to do with the external attacks?<br />

Port Forwading

port forward

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
