Security through obscurity is a poor substitute for security. Port scanners will eventually find that port also. Have you checked to see if a firewall is set up that could be blocking the port? Not a thorough check, but my father did turn off the firewall system on that linksys router.

Make sure the ISP is not blocking port 22. If they block it, you will need to change the SSH port in sshd_config and then set the router to forward the port to the server's internal IP address. It's a good idea to change the port anyway, in order not to be obvious to script kiddies.
