Port Forwarding

I am trying to setup port forwarding for a few devices that use 41000 TCP/UDP ---These communicate with other devices world wide. I have never had an issue with this port with prior ISP's. When I use the Xfinity APP to set this port up I get:

The Port Number must be between 1 and 40000 or between 41001 and 65535

I have set up different ports on my server which work fine however this has me stumped. Also I cannot get into the Gateway-(Xfinity XB7) with the normal  (Username) admin and (Password) password---Not sure why as I never set this up myself.

Setting up port 41000 has never been an issue in the past. (With Other Providers)--

Is this something that needs to be done within the Menu Systems within the Gateway?

I ended up rewriting the software to port forward on port 41001 which fixed the issue - the main issue here is the XFI app won't allow you to enter port 41000 for forwarding.

The issue has been resolved as I was able to enter the new port for forwarding within the app.
