GS308E-Editing the 802.1Q VLAN and add/remove VLAN ID's results in ALL VLAN ID's being broken

I noticed that if I edit the VLAN IDs in my GS208E the router destroys all programming for existing VLAN IDs.  This has happened EVERYTIME I have needed to update the VLAN IDs.   Every time I end up resetting to factory settings and reprogramming all VLANs from scratch.  Thankfully, I don't need to update the switch often but I'm at whit's end with this issue.

 

New switch, current firmware,

    Hi kenargo,

     

    Would it be possible if you could provide a screenshot of the router and switch's VLAN configuration?

    Also, please provide a network topology on how these devices are connected.

      See above:

      Port 1 is the internet from my router and is tagged on all but ID=1.  Ports 5 and 6 connect the primary router to the access points as tagged ports).

       

      Ports 2 and 3 (ID=2010) are a NAS's bound interface (untagged)

       

      if I try to add or delete a VLAN-ID, the web interface trashes the settings.  Sometimes I get garbage characters, but nearly all the time the switch locks up and I cannot connect to it. If I factory reset the switch and enter things in order (add all the IDs, then membership) then everything goes well.  An edit after the fact, not good.

        Hi kenargo,

         

        The configuration seems to be fine. By any chance, have you tried a different browser as well to see if it's the same issue?
