RBR50 can't address outside 24 bit range for port forwarding.

I have set the IP address and Mask to 172.16.0.1 255.255.240.0. Everything works OK, but I can't port forward to anything past 172.16.0.255, i.e. 172.16.1.77. It only allows a zero in the third octet...

    Netgear does not support subnetworks larger (different) than 255.255.255.0 respectively a max of 254 workable hosts. Said but true.
