Re: BR500 Reboot deletes configuration settings

What am I doing wrong?
When the BR500 reboots, I loose Port Forwarding rules, DHCP Address reservations, OpenVPN, Dynamic DNS.
I've tried saving settings as a backup and then restoring the backup, but the reboot part of that process just resets everything.
When I re-create the DHCP Addresss reservations, they don't take effect until a reboot. Which clears out the settings.
Am I missing a "Save Settings" button somewhere in the UI?
I have to have OpenVPN operational for the many times that Insight Instant VPN fails.
anyway, I'm kind of at a loss for what to do next. Other than setting aside three to four hours to call phone support...
thanks

Re: BR500 Reboot deletes configuration settings
After a two hour chat session, I was referred to a higher level of support. They believe that the problem is being casued by bad flash ram. An RMA has been issued. When the new unit is in position, I'll report back.
I wonder if this would have continued to be an issue if the settings I was changing could have been accessed from within the Insight app. There is a lot that is only accessible via the web UI on a locally connected computer.
