Router D7000 issues with port forwarding
Hi,
My issues is that I create a port forward to a server (example port 32400 for Plex server), and it works fine from the WAN.
However, I decide to shift the port forward to another server, so I remove the current routing and try to make another one using the same port to another server, this is the error message I get.
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
There is no visable way on the admin web page to refresh, so the only way I have found, ond it only works sometimes, is to cycle power to the router, THEN i can setup the new port forward. This seems like a bug to me .. it's so annoying it "almost" wants me to go back to my FritzBox
PS: There is nothing else that is setup for that port on my box .. and the last time I tried, even a power cycle did not work
Any suggestions:

What, exactly, does "remove the current routing" mean to you?
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering : Delete
Service, or something else?
Does the router still show the old port-forwarding rule after you
"remove" it? Clearly, the router can't forward one port to two places,
so you need to remove the old rule before you can specify a new one for
that (external) port.
Why _remove_? Around here (D7000v1, V1.0.1.64_1.0.1), there's an
"Edit Service" control. But, if I use Delete Service, I have no trouble
immediately using Add Custom Service to specify a new rule with the only
difference being the Server IP Address.
As usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
