Hello,
I've been doing a lot of looking through my TG582n having recently discovered the telnet command line interface.
One thing that has got me confused is this config entry.
CONEPorts=69,88,3074,3478-3479
I suppose the first question is what CONE is an acronym for?
According to Wikipedia, these ports are used for the following purposes:
69 TCP UDP Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
88 TCP UDP Kerberos authentication system
3074 TCP UDP Xbox LIVE and Games for Windows – Live
3478 TCP UDP TURN, a protocol for NAT traversal (extension to STUN)
3479 TCP UDP PlayStation Network
Since I've no interest in gaming, can they be removed from this list?
Via the web interface, I can see gaming is disabled.
Game Mode This is a function that helps all games work through the NAT of your Technicolor Gateway.
With Game Mode disabled your XBOX 360 and PS3 will still work correctly.
Note: By enabling the Game Mode you will be reducing the protection provided by your Technicolor Gateway.
Status: Disabled
But the fact that XBOX and PS3 are specifically excluded from general game mode seems to tie in with the list of CONE ports.
Also, the Game & Application Sharing->Assigned Games & Applications list is empty.

CONE is usually related to NAT settings and maps IP:Port to internal ports.
You shouldn't experience any issues if you remove the ones you don't use from the list.
