BR500 NAT hairpin loopback not working
After updating to the latest firmware, BR500 NAT hairpin loopback stopped working. I see nothing in setup to enable it.

Hello,
Under Use These DNS Servers you can manually enter a DNS server instead of using the one automatically assigned from your ISP.
As for NAT loopback being supported in later versions, engineering is aware that is no longer supported in later versions, however I do not have an ETA when it will be supported in later versions. For now, version 5.7.0.4 is the last release in which NAT loopback is supported.

Thanks for your reply! How "manually enter a DNS server instead of using the one automatically assigned from your ISP" can help solving the NAT loopback problem?
