RAX50 blocking all new connecitons if I login to management

I have Firmware 1.0.16.132_2.0.92
any time I access the web interface on the device. new session from that PC are blocked to all destinations. 
I have to reboot the RAX50 to regain internet. 

after the first reboot my android can no longer use the app to access the router. 

Is this a firmware bug?  

I really do not want to factory reset if it's not going to allow me to re-configure my port forwarding, or reservations.

    That's not firmware for any of the various RAX50s that I can find.

     

    What modem/gateway/ONT sits between the router and the Internet?

    Is that with a wired connection to a PC and a browser?

    Indeed, that can be a pin, but it might be the first thing that Netgear suggests when troubleshooting.

     

    You can reduce the hassle of reconfiguring all those settings by creating a backup of your settings before you reset. Then if something is still broken after the reset, and the reset has not fixed it, you can restore the device to its pre-reset state.
