I've been using this router for a couple of years, as it was supplied by my isp, but i've only been learning about hardware firewalls since being on here... I've noticed that mine is disabled (set to basic), so i've been trying to enable it.
Now for my problem.... When i add a port to forward, the port is added to the list, and i have to save and restart. After i restart the list is back to the same three entries it had before, and none of the new ones are there!?!?! So if i put the firewall to even the low setting, nothing can access the net!
Any idea why it won't let me add the ports?
I'm going to phone my isp on Monday, to see if they've heard of this happening before, then i'll try upgrading the firmware. I haven't upgraded already because the Actiontec website said to check with isp first.
