Thanks for the tip, some of the guys over at my gaming forum that tried it and are having some issues hosting UT based games....I posted it, hopefully it will fix that bug.

Yeah. There are some issues with the current accepted filter sets (DrTCP, etc) interfering with some of the new features. At this time it may be wise to wait a bit to see what you'd need to do with your filters so you remain stealth, but don't cause other problems.

I watch this forum closely: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/equip,9

Oh yeah! This router rocks! And, it looks like the guys just about have the new firmware figured out. It looks like most of the added filters will no longer be needed either so that will just make this puppy even faster.

Have you installed 3.25 yet? Right now I'm just following that thread to let them make all the mistakes before I install it!

I’ve got it installed and everything is working fine. I don't host game servers myself so I couldn't say if that part is working or not.

If you know how to use the filter sets you can get this thing to do anything you want. There has been a way to do forward port ranges for a long time.

For example:

How to open incoming port range

!!!NOTE this dosent work when using GENERIC STEALTH FILTERS!!!

To open a port rage you must use 2 rules in a TCP Filter set. those rule have the more = yes option on the first one.

Let's say that you want to open incoming port from 4000 to 4500. you should have the folloing 2 rules in your filter set.

Menu 21.12 - Filter Rules Summary

# A Type Filter Rules M m n
- - ---- --------------------------------------------------------------- - - -
1 Y IP Pr=6, SA=0.0.0.0, SP!=0, DA=0.0.0.0, DP>3999 Y N N
2 Y IP Pr=6, SA=0.0.0.0, SP!=0, DA=0.0.0.0, DP<4501 N F N

Menu 21.12.1 - TCP/IP Filter Rule

Filter #: 12,1
Filter Type= TCP/IP Filter Rule
Active= Yes
IP Protocol= 6 IP Source Route= No
Destination: IP Addr= 0.0.0.0
IP Mask= 0.0.0.0
Port #= 3999
Port # Comp= Greater
Source: IP Addr= 0.0.0.0
IP Mask= 0.0.0.0
Port #=0
Port # Comp= Not Equal
TCP Estab= No
More= Yes Log= None
Action Matched= N/A
Action Not Matched= N/A

Menu 21.12.2 - TCP/IP Filter Rule

Filter #: 12,2
Filter Type= TCP/IP Filter Rule
Active= Yes
IP Protocol= 6 IP Source Route= No
Destination: IP Addr= 0.0.0.0
IP Mask= 0.0.0.0
Port #= 4501
Port # Comp= Less
Source: IP Addr= 0.0.0.0
IP Mask= 0.0.0.0
Port #=0
Port # Comp= Not Equal
TCP Estab= No
More= No Log= None
Action Matched= Forward
Action Not Matched= Check Next Rule

The first rule check if the port is greater then 3999, so 4000 and up match the rule

The second rule check if the port is less then 4501, so 4500 and less match the rule

If both rule are matched, that meen that the port is between 4000 and 4500 inclusively.

that way you can decide on Action Mached to foward or drop that port range..... in that exemple, we foward on Action Mached

don't forget to apply that filter on the WAN interface in the INPUT PROTOCOL FILTERS

Menu 11.5 - Remote Node Filter

Input Filter Sets:
protocol filters= 12 <---- here!
device filters=
Output Filter Sets:
protocol filters=
device filters=

AHA! I knew it! I am just studying filters and the 'language' now and I knew there was a way. Thanks for that info, MegaVectra, though it's moot now with 3.25.

Any advice for us lesser knowledgeable's for filters (if any) needed for 3.25?
