Port Forwarding Error - Not working
I have a Netgear D6300AC wireless router, I had setup a port forwarding for RDS 3389 to one of my PCs on my network, however when I try to delete that entry from port forwarding list and try to setup...
Manage to resolve the Issue..
I tried doing a reset again using the web interface rather than button reset.
The web interface reset did the trick - updated the firmware once again and the issue is now resolved.

After you "try to delete that entry", is it gone? Copy+paste of your
actual port-forwarding rules might be interesting. Similar for the
actual "a new rule" which you are trying to add.

Is UPnP disabled? It probably should be, if you're using port
forwarding.

That should do the job, assuming that your "factory resetting" really
did a settings reset. Did all the usual settings (passwords, SSIDs,
...) get reset as expected? (Did the LED indicators do interesting
things?) If a proper reset did not help, then I'd guess that there is
something wrong with your port-forwarding rule specification(s).
Also, does the target system have a fixed (static or reserved
(dynamic)) LAN IP address? (Without that, a port-forwarding rule could
be useless, even if you could get it installed.)
Is UPnP disabled? - Yes it is.

Yes the reset was successful as it has removed all the firewall rules, port forwarding rules and SSIDs, I thought the same that it is not working, therefore I tried resetting it multiple times.
The target system have a fixed.
Bit Weired situation, but interesting to find a resolution for it.
Thanks
