SonicWall TZ210 Router and New Slingboxes Use Same Port for Remote Access

Inherited an account with a SonicWall TZ210 router.

The system had a Slingbox Pro-HD and 500 on this router with no problems for remote access via iOS devices and Slingplayer app.
Had to replace the Slingbox Pro-HD with a 350.
Found out the hard way (after install) that both the 350 and the 500 use same port (5102) and SOL with Slingbox tech support as the boxes are hard coded for the port and they don't support routers that don't support UPnP. Pro-HD used 5001 so that's why no problem with both working before without hair pulling.

So, unless I get this client to change out the router (not going to happen) do I have to find a way to get the SonicWall to allow both devices on the same port?
I have no idea where to even begin with that.

Anything the community can give me is more than I certainly know at this point.

Thanks

Ok what you need to do is have a different external port for the router and then port forward to the appropriate slingbox:

Slingbox1, its ip, external port of say 6001, internal port of 5102
Slingbox2, its ip, external port of say 6002, internal port of 5102

This way the router knows which slingbox to route the external traffic to.
Internally this should not be an issue because it will go to IP address first, and then port number
