Disapearing Port Forwarding Setting! What is the solution.

My RAXE500 Keeps dropping the Port Forwarding setting.  I have 2 telnet servers running and a FTP server. Randomly they will just stop working for no reason. Then when I go into the settings for port forwarding they will be GONE. If I try to add them again it will tell me they are already there even though you cannot see them or they do not work.  I have seen YEARS of people with the same problem.  For me I have to reload a previous configuration I saved to disk.  But this is NOT a solution. I paid close to $500 for this thing and it just does not work with no solution in sight.  Has anyone come up with a fix for this?

      Hello and thank you for the help.

       

      What Firmware version is currently loaded?   Firmware Version V1.0.8.70_2.0.36 It has been going on the last few versions also.


      What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? It has worked with my last 2 linksys routers. It is only affected by this router.

       

      How are you configuring the PF rules? With the normal port forwarding tab.

      Have you disabled uPnP prior to setting up the PF rules? No.

        This is what the screen turns into. The rules are there and working right now. You just cannot see them to edit them or access them. Next pic is what happens when you try to add or edit them.
