All routers should block ports above ports 1024 no matter what, and all ports other than 80 should be blocked and only opened with specific exceptions.
I just remoted into mine and 3074 is not open, you can run Steve Gibson's firewall test or another of other free ones to test to see what ports are open (there are better ones for testing all 49151 ports but I dont know of a good free one, I have a few non free ones I use at work.
I use a Linksys WRT54G with the Svetoff Chilispot software as the firmware.
I am still perplexed as the reasoning for both TCP and UDP, I wonder what they would use the UDP port for, maybe bursting packets for speed, very strange?
