WNR2000v2 port forwarding only forwards UDP
I've had a WNR2000v2 working for some time. I recently decided to do a firmware upgrade and went from firmware version 1.0.0.40_32.0.54 to the current version 1.2.0.8_36.0.60.

Thanks for the report. Welcome to the wonderful world of Netgear

Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the delay as I wanted to actually try your suggestion. But with holidays and traveling, pushed it off until I was home and I didn't want to answer "Did you do everything else right?" the way the average internet person would. But they were entered correctly, just wasn't accepting the change.
One odd thing I noticed later, is it could be set to TCP or UDP, just not TCP/UDP. Which would have been a temporary viable work around.
Thanks for suggesting rolling back the firmware. The hardware I work on actually can not go backwards, so I completely forgot about this as an option.
I rolled back to version WNR2000v2_V1.2.0.6_36.0.58NA and everything just magically worked. I could edit the old rules to be TCP/UDP, save and they properly got forwarded. And fortunately all the settings were preserved.
