After I am on with Tech Support for 2 hours, they say the router is defective and will not work for Port Forwarding....!!
I have installed these in many locations and have not had a problem. ALL sites had a DHCP WAN.
I have PPPoE here on FIOS, with a great connection, no issues for 4 years.
But lately my Intellinet Router has had to be reset 2-3 times a day, so I replaced it with the DIR-655 RevB.
Well, only for a little bit. The Dlink will NOT Port Forward... I need it to look at cameras, Remote Desktop, etc.
Tech Support and I tried PF, and Virtual and DMZ with no luck. we tried many ports, with several internal IPs.
I have another DIR-655 in stock and it has the same results...
If I plug the Intellinet back in, all Port Forwarding works fine... no problem at all to any port. BUT it still has reset issues (not related to PF...)
Anyone else have PPPoE out there, with Port Forwarding issues?
I wrote Tech Support to notify me if they ever fix this glitch, and they sent back the instructions for Port Forwarding!!! Cheesh! Do they even read what we type?

Might do a search on FIOS on here to check others postings.
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired PC while testing.
