Hi, I replaced my aged and failing dsl router with a TP-Link TD-8840T. I
attempt making this sufficiently on topic by mentioning it connects to
my trusty linksys wrt54gl and on to various linux boxes primarily my
mythtv back and front ends, and mint desktop.
Efforts to set up port forwarding fail simply in that the "save" button,
while appearing to click, just will not function to actually save a set
of start/end ports, protocol and destination IP address that is
entered. This device is fairly close to the factory settings, only
having changed the LAN IP addressing to be 10.1.1.0/8 so as to be
different from the network inside the linksys. NAT is enabled on the
relevant virtual circuit, I am using the "virtual servers" section under
Advanced Settings > NAT on page 24, 25 of the manual below if that is
helpful for anyone wanting to see what I see. I've attempted numerous
variations of port numbers, protocol, using built in "application" combo
box or custom entry, and am yet to see an entry appear in the listing of
rules.
I have already updated to the latest firmware, tried multiple browsers
(even resorting to using IE) all to no avail. My googling fails to find
anything that helps.
Does anyone have experience resolving a similar situation? Where a
button of some sort won't work initially? Or have any suggestions what
I could try? It seems to function in any other regard, so not
physically faulty, I wonder if some other setting means the virtual
server settings won't save, but really have no clue what/where.
This is the router:
