I've been using my DGL4500 for about a year now. I do not remember what firmware version it came with, but up to today I was running 1.13.
I have a rather elaborate home network. I have several laptops, multiple gaming systems, web & ftp servers, IP cameras and more. I used to create rules so if I accessed my home IP:port# it would take me to whatever device I intended to access. I think it was around FW 1.13 where this stopped working...
Due to my laziness I just haven't worried about it until today. In hopes that itw as just a buggy FW I upgraded to 1.15. However, the issues persist. Every time I try to create a port forwarding rule or gaming rule the GUI just reverts back to the login screen after ~5 seconds. When I go back to look to see the rules the list is blank.
Any suggestions? I like this router, and I know it's capable of doing what I want it to do. Something changed [software] and is screwing me up! Thanks in advance.

Yeah.. The 1.15 FW is buggy. when you configure your router you'll have to configure it from scratch. Perform a factory reset, re-flash firmware (you can try the beta firmware 1.16) and start entering the you port forward rules or virtual server.

Just so I understand you correctly, you're saying:
1) Do the factory reset via the botton in the rear of the router.
2) Through the GUI flash with 1.15 or 1.16b.
3) Input all my settings; do NOT load configs from backup file.
At this point the gaming & virtual server rules should work as intended? I like to have things spelled out for me, and I have a couple users on the network who I cannot kick yet :)
Thanks!

That is correct.
