Ok, I have two issues.

The first is with port forwarding. I have tried setting
up port forwarding so some of my PC games as well as my
Xbox and PS2 could get online, but the application-
triggered port forwarding will not work at all. I tried
persistant port forwarding, and that seems to work for my
PC programs, but not for my Xbox or PS2. The only way I
could get them to work correctly was to place them in the
router's DMZ. Also, whenever my PC gets a DHCP IP
change, I have to painstakingly go through and change the
IP address in the port forwarding page so it points to my
new IP. And this leads me to the second problem, which
is the speed of the firmware. Why does it take 5-10
seconds to open a new page of the router's firmware?
I've tried accessing the firmware from wired and wireless
PCs, but the firmware's just that slow. Any way to
rememdy this situation?

Hi,

I'm noticing the slow loading times for the Base Station Management Tool as
well, one thing you can do is set a static IP address on the computer so
that you don't have to keep changing the address in the port forwarding
page.

Why are you trying to use app-triggered port forwards?

If you tell us, I can tell you if it is the appropriate type of forward to
use (I'm surprised you are trying to use that for an XBox or PS2 game).
