Port Forwarding issues with Smarthub SH35A

[Smudger1971]

I'm having a few issues with port forwarding on a new SmartHub SH35A.
I've recently moved from BT where I had on old BT Smart hub with some rules to give me external access to couple of machines on my home network. These worked!
Swapping over to EE - none of the same rules seem to work - except for few rules that have been added via uPNP.

For exmple, my Emby server has created a rule to forward port 8096 through to the server and this works and is seen as open via 'canyouseeme'
I've added rules to forward ports 80,443,8444,5000,5001 and a few others  (all via TCP) to my synology server - which is actively listening on these ports. Internally from my home network I can use these ports, but when I test via 'canyouseeme' - all the ports appear closed.

I've even tried a rule to forward external port 8099 to internal port 8096 (Emby Server) and even that is showing a closed - whilst the uPNP rule 8096 to 8096 is fine.

Any suggestion or fixes would be appreciated

@JimM11 Thanks for this.

I think I'll try:
- using MinUPnP to remove the uPNP rules first , then switch off uPnP and then add them manually 

OR

-  Add all my rules via MinUPnP
Anything to avoid a factory reset on the Hub - but if requires it , then so be it.

@Smudger1971 Link also shows what the 7 Plus is on FW updates, normally happens when unit is first connected, but worth a quick check that yours is up and on the latest, will save you a bit of fighting the 7 Plus hub as the OOB FW is very suspect.
