For those with any interest ................
I updated the title of this thread to contain the model number, 2860. The reason being is that the more I read about them the more I think what a total waste of money they are. I've had Drayteks before and found them excellent products but this model is total pants.
My port redirection and open ports config has sprung back into life after spending a good couple of hours restoring config backups I've made previously, now I only did this because after manually rebuilding the config I started getting weird WIFI drop outs which I had early on in my ownership of the 2860. So I hunted round for my backups taken, during this I found more than a couple of times the config failed to restore, I found some restoring the default password which is odd. A config from a month back I applied kicked started something as my ports appeared, there is nothing dramatic in this config, its very basic and exactly how I had built the config manually. I've deleted the ports and recreated them with success and modified them also with success. I was going to leave it there, happy that the basic features was know available BUT then I remembered I also couldn't get the VLANs to work properly not so long back and when I added a guest WIFI that also caused problems. The worst was the fact that by default 443 was open on an earlier build for the VPN setup, but what it did was present the management interface publicly, support (via email) told me this was impossible, well they're wrong! I'm also down on speed compared BT HH5.
A very disappointed customer. Moan over. Good luck with yours.
