Hi folks,
This is probably the millionth topic on this, maybe EE takes notice and actually fixes this poor excuse of a router!
I've moved from Virgin not long ago and regret ever since. I've been given a Smart 7 Plus (?) which currently runs fw r4.27.1-R-1862254-PROD-84001. Spent way too much time trying to get the port forwarding to work, on a setup that was just fine on the Virgin router and the one before it. Linux desktop, static internal IP, caddy forwarding to relevant services (Jellyfin etc), need 80 and 443 open among others less important.
UPnP is currently enabled but have also tried with it disabled as it creates two rules, which according to another thread on these forums, prevents the router from parsing the user created rules.
Once a rule is created, you can not go and edit or make any further changes because it will complain about overlapping port values. Try long enough and the router starts throwing CHOP3-800 messages and you have to factory reset it.
Oh, and it forgets the static IP after a while, because why not!
Has anyone found a solution to this or just bin and replace with an actual router? That negates any savings I would have made on the move to EE, but lessons learned.
