Only 32 TCP Filters Available?

I'm trying to do some port forwarding. For some reason, this time it's being such a headache for me. Needless to say, I'm having a problem and I assume it's with my router. I'm trying to open a TCP port and I'm getting the error message: "You may only have up to 32 TCP filters available." This error message apparently doesn't exist anywhere on the Internet - searching for it was fruitless. Anyway, what's up with this? I'm using a Westell 7500 DSL modem/router.

Sounds pretty self explanatory. Your router must only allow a max of 32 Rules at one time.These could include port forwarding or firewall rules? Delete an existing one :)

Yeah I suppose it is. I was trying to port forward Origin just to see if my d/l speeds changed. I think it uses over 32 TCP ports by itself though. Oh well, I guess I just didn't connect the word "filters" to rules/ports somehow. Thanks for common sense lol.

You might be able to specify ranges.
