D-Link EBR-2310 Triggered Port Forwarding

Sorry this is off topic but my last hope. D-Link calls triggered
port
forwarding "Application Rules." Their manual says that a trigger
port can be a single port number or range. However, when I put in a
single port number like 554, then "save", a random number is
appended e.g., 554-10254. Using a range like 5198-5200 works fine.
Anyone have this problem?
Thanks!

I did and they said that this is normal - they said to enter single
ports as a range, e.g., 554-554. It works but its hard to believe
that it was actually designed that way when the manual says to enter
a single port OR a range. Just hoping to find someone with this
router to verify one way or the other.

Ok, that would have been my suggestion, just make the first and last entries
the same for a single entry, if entering just one didn't do it. Why didn't
say in your original post that you had tried that and just wanted
confirmation?
 
can you help me with this cookie problem i have thanks..

Hi, you need to post a new message instead of asking your question as a
reply in someone else's thread. Also provide more information on what the
problem is. I have included a link on how to make a good newsgroup post.
Review that then resubmit as a new question with more info. I'm sure
someone will be able to help.

The problem is actually more complicated and I did not want to
publish a book. When you put in a range of port numbers likie
554-554, then save, the ending port number is deleted so that it
again reads 554. Most triggered ports are single port numbers. This
means that every time that a triggered port is added to the list,
you must go back and add the range to every entry. This is a real
nuance. However, you are correct, I am trying to find someone with
the same router to determine if this is how they all work or if my
unit is defective.

You would probably be better off posting to hardware group. Can't Dlink
tell you if this is normal? I use a Linksys router. Good luck.

D-Link has a 3-layer tech support scheme. The first guy who doesn't
speak English very well from Bombay says he never heard of this
problem. The second guy from China, says its a hardware problem but
talk to the 3rd guy. The third guy from California says its normal
since he doesn't want me to send it back.
But thanks for the good suggestion, I will post in the hardware
group.

D-Link says that this is a problem and a firmware fix is underway.
The work-around is to enter single port numbers as a range, e.g.,
554-554.
 
Ahh ok, you finally got a response of substance from them. Thanks for
posting back to update the thread.
