Just Purchased NetGear R6300, and Port Foward does not work!

Hi all, I just purchased the new 802.11 ac router from NetGear.

NetGear r6300, and I have a Synology Files Servers... and couple of Dlink 932L and Dlink 942L cameras at home.

I have the NetGear R6300 updated to the latest Firmware... I forget what is it... but you can just click update in 192.168.1.1 and you get it.

I have my Port Forward custom servers all added... Tested all working while I am at home! Now the problem is when I am outside, or tried to access my ip cameras on my cell phone.

It will work! for about 30 seconds! Then the router will just die! Saying "TIMEOUT"! I tried a wired connection at work! Samething! It will work for only about 45 seconds or so... and the connection will time out!

After you wait for about a minute or so and log back in and everything is working again.... at less for another 45 seconds.

I tried to log into my Synology File Server from work... And same thing! If you tried to download a picture, or a movie... anything that take longer then 45 seconds to download... the connection will work till upto 45 seconds and then timeout....

My server will be unreachable for about 3 minutes... then it will work again!

MAN! I love this new 802.11ac router! But now I have to return it!!!
