What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Firmware is V2.3.5.30
There is no modem. Router connected directly to WAN.

What browser are you using?
Be sure to clear all browser caches before entering into the RBRs web page.

Did you disable uPnP before entering the PF configuration?
