I recently replaced my old router with a new TL-R605. I have a number of devices and cameras on my network and I have found that several TCP ports are not forwarded correctly by the TL-R605 versus my old router. Is there any known issue with specific TCP ports for this product? I've noticed that when I attempt to diagnose the problem ports using PortCheckTool.com, the ports in question will suffer a "Connection timed out" failure. This is distinct from what is encountered when a port is blocked by the router, where the failure message will be "Connection refused." It seems as if the ports that I'm trying to forward are not necessarily completely blocked, but certainly not responding correctly. Does anyone have any idea what my problem may be?

First check if you are on latest firmware as mentioned by other posters above. Old firmware is most common issue with forwarding.
If you are on latest firmware, you may be in the same position I was. I was on latest firmware and tried settings everywhere but could not forward ports on the R605 (20 year old router worked fine). My solution eventually ended up being a factory reset of the router. I can't explain why that worked since I have configured the same setup again but it did.
