Open Port 7547

jnev785 — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 19:36:27 GMT

Avast Network Inspector has given me an alert saying Port 7547 is open and accessible from the internet. It recommends closing the port but I can't find where it is showing as open, so I can't close it. Anybody had the same issue (and solved it)?

Thanks

On what EE device?

The EE router.

@jnev785 : I presume you mean a fixed BB router.

EE routers don't leave ports open unless you open them yourself, perhaps by Port Forwarding.

What is the name of the EE BB plan you are on including its speed? Which EE router & WiFi extenders, if any, do you have (read label or post a pix)?

Yeah, it's the standard router EE (BT) supplied when I upgraded to fibre just over a year ago. Paperwork says "Smart Hub Plus" and the plan is "Full Fibre Gigabit All Rounder", 900 Mbps. I'm not aware of opening a port and nothing new has been added to our home in last few days (the warning only popped up today).

OK, I've got it! Port 7547 is used for TR-069/CWMP (Customer Premises Equipment WAN Management Protocol), allowing Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to remotely manage and configure home routers.

Thanks. It may be a silly question but if I disconnect any games consoles will the port close automatically? If so I can then run Network Inspector again and check which console is the culprit.

Forget my previous response about game consoles. I've edited it.

Thanks. A bit concerning that it been open for a few hours. I'll scan again tomorrow and if it still shows as open I'll contact EE.

Thanks.

You won't get rid of it. EE need it to remotely manage the router. Most ISP routers do. It also supports the router functions of the EE app.

I'm surprised that port is open for long.

What does ShieldsUP! report as the status of that port with User-Specified Custom Port Probe ? Is it shown as "Closed" or "Stealth"?

Re: Open Port 7547

Shieldsup shows it as open. Definitely calling EE tomorrow.

Thanks, that seems to clear it up.
