    At the end pressing the reset button for so much time factory reset everything and even the firmware upgarde worked after that.

    Instead of doing all the configurations all again I gave it a go and restore my configurations and I now have 11 devices connected which seems the problem is now resolved.

No, like I said the problem is because you are asking us to factory reset the router and set it again from scratch. Doing that it means we wont have internet for hours which is a big problem for us. If I could fix the problem with just the firmware upgrade then we could spare a few mins of downtime...

blackbox,

 

My apologies. You may try upgrading the firmware and if still doesn't work properly then you may need to reset it to factory default then reconfigure the firewall. Please keep us posted.
