My port forwarding has been working fine, until a few days ago when I tried to add a 19th entry. After clicking "Save", the page refreshed and it looked as if I had lost all my settings. My entries disappeared. Please see attached screenshot.
The settings are still in place, however. I tested the ports I had forwarded on http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and they're still open.
When I click "Add", the page refreshes but it does not add a blank entry to the list.
Things I've tried so far:
* Router reboot (unplugged for 5 minutes, then plugged back in).
* Cleared browser cache.
* Different browsers (IE8, IE9, FF3, FF4, Chrome 10).
* Used IE8 in a fresh installation of Windows 7 in a virtual machine.
* Restored previously saved settings using the "config.asp" page
How do I reduce my nvram usage? "Use NVRAM for client lease DB" is unchecked. I also went to Status > WAN to turn off my WAN traffic monitoring, but the page is blank (please see the attached screenshot).

If you have been using the WAN traffic monitoring for a while, then you will need to clear out those old entries from the nvram. The following code will show you how many entries are stored in the nvram:
The forwarding rules appear to still be active but I cannot see the list or add new entries to it. but I can use the port range forwarding okay.
Change to a different browser. Clearing the browser cache might do it too. _________________ SIG:

But I am running the mega build on it. If you are not running mega, it is possible that the command is not in your build. So you can delete the nvram variables yourself.
1. run (in telnet/ssh):
Code:
nvram show | grep traff-
2. For each result that is displayed, do the following:
Code:
nvram unset traff-03-2011
(change 03 to the month & change 2011 for the year for the ones you need to delete)
Once you remove all of the traff- nvram variables, do the following to commit the changes:

After you exceed the available nvram space, you really need to hard reset and reconfigure because there is no telling what other settings were lost or corrupted.
To prevent future problems, you should give an overview of everything you're changing from defaults. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

FIXED! Thank you very much!
What I had to do after the hard reset was go to the Port Forwarding area and click Add. Each time I did so, one of my rules came back up until they were all there again. I saved and applied settings and we're all good in the hood. Thank you for your time and patience with this!
