WNDR3700v4 cannot port forward 443

Hi I have the above wireless router and i am trying to port forward 443. Every time I try to apply the changes I receive the following message:

The specified port(s) are being used by other configurations. Please check your configurations of USB Readyshare, Remote Management, Port forwarding, Port Triggering, UPnP Port Mapping table, RIP, and Internet connection type

I have checked these options, tried disabling readyshare, changing the port number configured in readyshare but it still will not let me.

I have also tried port 80 but no luck and I do not have remote management enabled.

Has anyone had this issue?

I am running firmware V1.0.2.78

Try a reset and another FW version.

Try turning off UPNP and manually forward the ports. I had a 3700v1 and the UPNP option was hosed, tried to add HP HomeServer years ago and even though ports 80,443 and 1443 showed up in the table as ported it wouldn't work until I manually ported them.

Disabling UPnP and then creating my 443 port forward worked. I then re-enabled UPnP and everything looks to be working as expected. Thanks for your help searay.
