Is there a way to turn off the firewall on my 4g EE router?

I don't see an option under settings->advanced as is mentioned on other routers

Thanks

@pody : No, it's just a mobile router, not a proper router. It's functionality is severely limited.

But why would you want to anyway & leave yourself to open to attacks?

@XRaySpeX Thanks for the reply,

I wanted to turn it off for a short while to see if it was impacting me trying to setup a smart heating device. I'm fairly sure the problem is with EE using CGNAT but wanted to rule other things out first as there's not many options if it is that.
