My guess would be that you have Skype and Teredo tunnelling for IPV6 running. If you bring up the Task Manager (Control - Alt -Delete) and go to the Startup Tab, you will probably see Skype listed in the Startup Application list. If you don't want Skype to start when you start your computer, you could disable it. I'm not sure what affect this will have when you actually go to start Skype as it may give you a warning that some service component is not running. You may have to experiment with that.
For the Teredo tunnelling have a look at the following thread:
https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/10090/is-teredo-in-my-router-a-back-door
Thats an interesting thread as it also points to UPNP as a possible reason that the tunnel ports are being set.
I suspect that if you turned off IPV6 on your laptops and PCs that would kill the tunnelling ports. Navigate to Control Panel.....Network and Sharing Center....Change Adapter Settings (left side) .....Select the ethernet and / or wireless adapter and right click to bring up the menu......Select Properties to bring up the Ethernet or Wireless Properties Panel. Scroll down to the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and deselect it. Hit Ok, and then close all of the open panels and reboot the pc. You will probably have to do this with all of your devices. The laptop IPV6 will have that setting on both the wired and wireless controllers.
Edit; Also consider whether or not you really want UPNP running on the modem. I normally advise everyone to disable it in order to prevent any rogue application from changing modem or router settings without your knowledge. Unless you really need it, you should disable it, which would prevent the Skype and Teredo tunnelling port forwarding from reinstating themselves. You would have to manually setup any port forwarding when UPNP is disabled.
Give those a go and see if they solve the problem.

i had a rogers high speed internet for a year now and thought i would get the new modem to increase the wireless speed to 5ghz. But now i cant play my favorite game at all. What kind of a service provider makes such an error since this particular game has gottan so famous in the last few years? I know so many people that play this game. Heck riot games even held the biggest e-sports event ever in human freaking history. If i were a service provider i would even include automatic leauge of legends port forwarding option in my modems. This kind of gaming communities are getting bigger and bigger evry day so rogers should recognize them and at least test their upgrade with these most popular games in mind. But i have an impression that rogers is so powerful in the market that they do not care as much as they should be for their customers. I think this problem must be fixed as soon as possible. If you google this problem you can see hundreds of people discussing it.
One thing you need to understand as well though.. while yes, this is a MAJOR thing to fix, and should be fixed ASAP..
Fixes are not always EASY (just as the programmers of LoL, WoW, SC, or any other game). A fix is not always an on/off switch type thing. 1/2 the time when you try to apply a fix for something, there is a chance it will break something else. So sure it might fix LoL, but break someone elses experience on something else.

I too changed for a CGN3ACSMR about 2 weeks ago. First of, I was very happy with the service at ROGERS and everything was great. But recently I got into League of Legends again and I find it very upsetting to have to chase around for an older modem to make the game work. Especially that I already had to run by my neighbors and ask them if they minded having a wire up their trees for 6-8 weeks...
Is there any way I can 'not' have a Hitron Technologies modem and keep my plan with ROGERS?
I just contacted them to show my disappointment (only to make myself feel better) and I must say that I don't want to encourage that company anymore. For an oversea company that established itself 4 years ago in the USA, they are not making a great first impression; company that has been in this business for 29 years.
Unfortunately, at least at this point, no there arent other options.
As much per 'policy'.. when the new plans, etc are set up on their systems, they are sort of coded.. that for them to apply that new plan to an account, if it does not list the hitron ones in there, it will not let the plan be applied. So its not just something that can be overwritten.
There is some technical reasoning behind going to them..
Rogers in the past, always got the complaints of slowdowns especially durring peak times. This was congetstion. everyone was fighting on the same frequency for space. This is why they went to the D3 series modems period. They introduces 4, 8, etc channel modems. More lanes, less chance of congestion.
Now with many of the newer and much faster plans, demading more speed continually... congestion can start happening again. (often the reason you dont see 100+mbps plans on providers who do not have 24 channel modems).
So having these help elivate that.
While the other older modems would work per say.. it would technically be able to handle the speeds, etc... there is a good chance of congestion possibly again.
Thats interesting results.
Definately means its a ROUTING thing.. since going through a VPN, would be routing a different path.
Its just interesing, that generally, the routing should be global across rogers as a whole.
odd that on the ONE is having an issue.. its like it cant read the routing table for that site for some reason.
