Verizon 4G LTE Router constantly disconnecting and other issues

My Verizon 4G LTE Router constantly disconnects. It requires a power off reset to come back on. Unfortunately, I dumped a perfectly reliable DSL connection for this. Worse yet, it is in a second home, and used to remotely monitor my temperature and security camera. I'm an not there every hour of the day to power cycle this totally unreliable device!
Also,I've had this device for a couple of months now, and have yet to be able to get my security cameras working. Now I can't even tell if my furnace is on - with winter coming if I can't monitor the temperature remotely, my pipes and well pump could be seriously damaged. What is going on with this thing????

Blazey, I appreciate you trying to help.
So, what you are saying is I have a few options:
     1) Do nothing and keep paying for a service and hardware combination I purchased directly from Verizon that doesn't work
     2) Spend $600 on top of what I have already spent to get limping along
     3) Spend $600 + buy another more reliable router that doesn't hang all the time
Where is option #4 - Verizon should fix their problem(s), or release me from my contractual obligation so I can go back to a rock steady DSL connection!
This is totally unacceptable.. I am not trying to use some 3rd party hardware on their network. I purchased this directly from Verizon so I DIDN'T have to worry about it working. They swore to me that this would be a plug in replacement for my DSL. Now after some more reading I discover it is not even close. It does not support port forwarding without shelling out another $500 for a static IP. I can assure you, I did not pay for this with ATT's DSL service. I feel duped and am pretty outraged by this.
What's worse is, I do not have "eye's" on my vacation home almost 300 miles away while this is happening. A little difficult to just "pop" over and reset it - which is what Verizon support suggested I do.

WRT54GL Disconnecting and other issues

Purchased this router after having problems with a netgear one.
On trying it it worked ok for a small while and then started giving problems.
It will not show in wireless network list randomly, then come back for no real apparant reason.
It will not connect at times
Once it does connect, the connection only lasts for a couple of minutes and drops - with netowrk dissapearing.
If connected, the download speed is VERY slow - 128Kbps on a 20 meg line.
These problems are seen on 2 different laptops, and an iphone so i suspect i do not have a hardware issue with these. Router seems ok on cable connection, although speed is 6meg, not 20 meg as i have had in the past from the router.
I have tried the following :
New network card drivers - Main laptop uses intel wireless, as said - suspect ok as numerous bits of kit have same problem.
Latest firmware on Router.
Tried varying channel ids on laptop - some are definately worse than others - sticking with 13 as it seems best??
MANY resets, 30 sec, the 30/30/30 also
Only equipment around area is a TV, Xbox360 (wired connection), Phone and Virgin V+ Box
One thing i have noticed is next door have added an unsecured network i can see (and join if i wish). Would this Belkin router from next door be able to kill mine as it is described above?
I'm at my wits end trying to sort this out and begrudge buying yet another router to see if it solves my issues.
All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Do the following wireless settings on your Router :
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

My internet continually disconnects. When I added my airport express, I had to call Verizon (my provider) and have them "bridge" my modem. Ever since, my connection constantly disconnects and puts up the message "Could not find a PPPoE server".

Any ideas? I probably have something wrong in my computer settings.

You should restore your modem to router condition and set the Airport Express to 'Bridge Mode'. A full explanation and the method of doing this is here:

Verizon 4G LTE Router lights flashing at the same time

Just today I noticed that some of the lights on my Verizon 4G LTE Router are all flashing at the same time and in sync. These are the lights that indicate the internet, wifi and LAN network activity. It seems it might have rebooted today as well - perhaps the firmware was updated by Verizon. The firmware running on it now appears to be v3.2.3.55. Its functioning normally right now - its just that having these three lights flash all at the same time, gives the impression that there is an error or issue with the device. Has anyone else noticed anything like this on their router?

I have to report the firmware has messed up our connection. We have 2 of these routers. Both would not connect to the internet for several days. The 4g LTE connection light was blue and the signal strength showed green with occasional blue. The devices would just not connect to the internet. We are 9 miles from the tower but the devices had worked reliably before the firmware upgrade. I have a support NRB (Network Repair Bureau) ticket going with several phone calls. Evidently one of the features of this firmware was a 3G fallback. The support says Verizon will not rollback firmware.updates. There is obviously bugs in this firmware that have negative impacts. One of our Netgear routers has made an internet connection again but the other has not. It's really frustrating especially when you are paying a small fortune for the data. It worked fine before the firmware upgrade. PLEASE fix this Verizon.

Android phone constantly disconnects and reconnects to vpn

When using verizon 4G the android anyconnect constantly disconnects and reconnects. When it is connected for about 10 seconds it is working normally. This does not happen on the phone when the user is connected to wifi. It is only on 4G.

I experienced the same problem with my Lumia 800 and the MyWay audio/navi/BT telephone system in my previous and current Citroën C5 (both latest model (PhIII)): http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-with-Windows-Phone/Bluetooth-and-3G/td-p/1288591 .
I first thought it had something to do with switching from G to 3G and back. But in the end I discovered that BT on the Lumia 800 just disabled itself, while connected to my cars BT system. I have started the procedure to send my Lumia tot Nokia Care. Keep You informed.

Verizon 4G LTE Router

I am looking for a 4G LTE Router that has Gigabit Ethernet wired ports. I found a few so far. So I decided to also take alook at the Verizon 4G LTE Router.
I quickly looked at the user manual for the Verizon 4G LTE Router and it appears it is still using the ancient 10/100 ports. No mention of gigabit anywhere.
Do manufacturers and service providers not realize that people are backing up mammoth amounts of data these days? 10's if not 100's of Gigs.
Network backups require using the wired ports to get enough backup bandwidth and Gigabit ports are an absolute necessity.
This 4G LTE Router looks good otherwise. But totally fails because of using these ancient ethernet ports.

Do you see anywhere where I said I was backing up to the Internet?
This is about using wired ports to enable backups between devices on the wired ports.
If I wanted to spend a lot of money, sure, I could go buy a 4g VZ Cradlepoint for $699.
Or I could buy yet another separate device like a Gigabit Switch to clutter things up.
The point is that gigabit ports cost absolutely peanuts when you're building a device.
And with other manufacturers like Peplink and Cradlepoint putting them into every one of their 4g routers why is Verizon choosing devices without them?

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

Skype constantly disconnecting and muting others' voices

I'm on Windows 8.1, and am running the most current version of Skype.Despite this, in the past couple of days alone, Skype has started acting up. I will go on skype, it will load every message just fine, I can join calls, I can talk and be heard, video works fine both ways, and I can message... Just that I can't hear what anybody in a call is saying. I can hear the notifications and the test sound, but not my friends' voices. What's more perplexing is that after 10 minutes or so I can start hearing them. Which brings me to the second problem... I only have so much time before skype disconnects me. I have been constantly disconnected from Skype despite a continuous internet connection. Somebody please help!

Make a direct connection from your PC/laptopto the modem which will eliminate the homehub. Follow this guide to do that. Use your computer as normal to see if it disconnects. If it does not disconnect you will know that there is nothing wrong with your line/connection and it may be a faulty hub . Obviously this must be done with a wired connection and no wireless devices will work while you are doing that.
Step 1: Remove the homehub from the modem
Step2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port
Step3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
Step4: Connect to the internet then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
Step5: Username [email protected] and the password as BT
Step6: connect, If it doesn't,keep pressing try again until it does.

Magic mouse constantly disconnects and can't get it to connect without rebooting the computer. Anyone else have this issue

How do you solve the problem of the magic mouse constantly disconnecting? I have changed the batteries and turn it on and off, but the only way to get it to reconnect seems to be re-starting the computer. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Greetings Beth,
Wireless devices are susceptible to interference. Review this article for common sources: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048#5
They are also very sensitive to low power. Make sure you are using VERY fresh batteries. If they have been sitting on a shelf for months they don't count as fresh IMO.
Troubleshooting steps to try after you read that article at the top:
Remove the following to the trash: Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Restart the computer and re-pair the mouse and keyboard
If issue persists reset the SMC:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If the issue persists reset the PRAM:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Hope that helps!

Computer to router constantly sending and receiving packets

I have two separate computers, one wireless and one connected direct to my router. One running XP home and the other running XP pro, both will all current updates. Both computers running ZoneAlarm Pro firewall and Kaspersky antivirus and should be virus free. Both computers are constantly sending and receiving several packets to the router every second (even with internet unplugged, this is just computer to router traffic). It is svchost.exe that is doing the work. It is TCP traffic with around 200-7000 bytes of data. Sometimes when redoing the connection (power down router, unplug cable, ect…) it will quit doing it. I had the same issue with my past USRobotics router. What could be causing this? It is interfering with my ability to monitor my internet bandwidth speed and usage.
WRT54GL XPsp2

Since no one has any idea, I did some things on my own. The first thing I did was to use my computers firewall to block the destination port to each router (they were both different). The second thing I did was to update my linksys router firmware with DD-WRT. That seems to have solved it for good, as I have disabled the the firewall blocks and all is good. Freeware hacks rule.
WRT54GL XPsp2

WRT54G Wireless Setup page won't load and other issues.

Well I have had quite the mess the last 24 hours. I'll start from the beginning and attempt to spell out the issues I am having. I have had this router for 4 years or so and have never had a problem.
I recently purchased a PS3 and started using the wireless feature that it offeres. Well I was having problems staying connected and was running in to IP address conflicts with my laptop. So I thought I would cure that by moving the router to the ps3 and using a wired connection for its internet. So that is what I did and that is when the problems started snowballing!! After I got the router moved and everything set up, all seemed well at first.
Shortly thereafter I realized I was still getting IP conflicts. So i did some research and saw where I could dedicate an address for the ps3 and also change some of the wireless settings on the router homepage. I previously had never password protected my network. I'm in a rural area and there aren't many people around that would be trying to get on it. But I figured since I was there I would rename the network and password protect it and all of that. Well that didn't help either. I was still having problems.
I then did all of the resets. Online, on the unit and also a power cycle. So I was back to square one with the settings at this point. So today I noticed that my connection would go from its norm of 54mbps down to1 and then lose connection. I did the resets and restarts and all of that, to no avail. Then it got to the point where it wouldn't connect at all. I checked the actual connection by connecting my computer directly to the modem and it worked flawlessly. So I know it is a router problem. I also tried using 2 seperate laptops and they both responded the same.
I think part of the issue I had then was that the modem and router were on my entertainment center and weren't very high and were in a shelf. Also, my surround sound receiver does use a wireless connection to 2 of its speakers. I didn't know the proper placement of a router until I had this problem. Now that it is back in its previous location the connection seems to be normal, although once in the last hour I did drop down to 1mbps and have to disconnect and reconnect. But it hasn't happened again so far.
However, I am unable to access the wireless page on the router setup page. I did yesterday but it won't load today. On either computer. So I am unable to change the name of my network or assign a password or change any other wireless setting. And again, I've tried every reset method and it still don't work.
Also, does anyone have any advice on the conflicting IP addresses with the ps3? They sent me an email stating that it may be a port or firewall issue? After doing some online research it seems this particualr router has had a lot of problems getting along with the ps3.
I hope I haven't put in too much information but I was just trying to make sure I had any questions I could think of answered ahead of time. I've tried about every avenue I could already. I tried the chat help and was told I didn't qualify and was sent to the phone assistance who after a half hour realized I didn't qualify for that help either. So, here I am!!! Thanks ahead of time!

Make sure that there is no static IP address on any of your computer. You can assign a static IP address on Play station.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Download t he latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer.
Open the setup page of the router. Go to Administration tab and click on Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on your router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
Change the MTU size on the router to 1365.
Go to Wireless tab and change the wireless network name and channel to 11. Also change the wireless security settings.

Disconnections and Speed Issues.

To start off, our BT Internet connection has been fine for years, not a problem at all, speeds weren't high, but they were modest and certainly enough for my needs, and there weren't really any major problems, just the occasional maintenance work interfering with it and other minor things...
Until the past 6 months that is, it happened it seemed for an alternating monthly period, on and off the quality would just drop ridiculously.
There would be disconnects and <1Mbps speeds (is that even broadband?), and just where we got to the point where we were going to call up, suddenly it would go back and become even better.
Sometimes going as high as 18Mbps which was unheard of for our area, until it crashed down again, this cycle happened until just over a month ago when it got a lot worse.
It started off the internet would disconnect and reconnect at a random speed, ranging from really low, to modestly high, and then a new symptom came into play, everytime a device connected to the router, the router would drop the connection and try reconnecting, it wasn't random anymore, we now know when it's going to disconnect.
Everytime my brother walks into the house with his smartphone automatically seeking our wireless connection, it drops.
Everytime someone powers up a PC that's on a wired connection, you guessed it! It drops the connection
Far more annoyingly though, everytime someone walks past the house and connects to our BT FON source, it drops (which I'd like to point out, at the time we had a Home Hub 1.0 and the BT FON was automatically always on and couldn't be disabled, a nice feature for our problem -_-)
We called up the technicians after this started, and they tried to diagnose the problem, and I use the word tried loosely.
Instructions were basically unplug the internet, plug it back in, and change the filter.
We did manage to wrangle a BT Home Hub 3 into our hands though, the morning it arrived we cradled our saviour, delicately placing it on the desk top, preparing to worship it's blessing of providing us with hassle-free internet at last..
But it was not to be, set it up, everything fine! Brother walks in from work.. and I'm sure you know how the rest goes..
Humourous thing is, it came with a letter from BT saying we're on the up to such and such package (I think it was up to 20mb), it says our average speed should be 12mbps, but we've sat on pretty solidly for the past month 1.5mbps, it's been lower, but I don't think it's been higher...
We've tried the BT Help Phone Lines, they can't seem to help us, so I'm putting this puzzle to a wider audience of people who may have had past experience.
The only theory we have is that it was a BT mistake that they haven't realised, my father saying he saw workmen from BT working on the telephone pylon in our alleyway.
I'd ask our neighbours if they have any problems, but I don't want to get burgled if they find out we can afford internet...
I hope some people on here may be able to shed some insight or advice with how to tackle this problem, I'll say right now, we're paying something like £30 a month (maybe more, I don't get to see the bills) for an internet connection I could buy from a smaller company for £2 a month (1.2mbps average in the past month)
Thanks in advance, Mike.

HP Spectre x360 13-4002dx active pen and other issues

Hi, I'm havng issues with my active pen, but wasn't sure if it's an issue with my laptop or stylus (or if it's a software/driver issue). Is there an easy way to tell?Also, I've been using my laptop for a month now, and recently have had other issues, listed below. I wrote them down below in case that could provide some information, and/or if those issues are something I should be concerned about and should try to fix. To begin with, after doing some research, I bought a Synaptic active stylus (the Dell one), which worked very well for the first two weeks until last week. All of a sudden, it started to respond very awkward and randomly, sometimes it's too sensitive and draw lines even when the pen was off the screen, and sometimes it didn't draw anything at all even though I see the small circle following my pen tip. I initially thought it was due to low battery, but it's the same issue after I replaced the battery. Right now, the laptop doesn't respond to pen touching the screen (no clicks, no writings), although the pointer follows the pen. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? How do I know if it's the pen that is faulty or if it's the laptop? Other issues I had or am having:1. Today, I had a BAD_POOL_HEADER error and blue screen of death. After reboot, everything seems to still work, but the login is now much slower. It's very fast to reach to the login screen, but it takes 2-3 minutes to bring up the desktop and other startup applications after I enter my password (I think it used to take less than 10 seconds). I tried rebooting 2-3 times, and it was always the same. 2. The laptop seems to gain heat very easily. With moderate workload (example, some websites with flash advertisements or videos), it can easily go above 70 degrees Celsius on either core (according to CPUID HWMonitor). One time, the system actually failed and forced hibernated due to overheating. (To me, the screen went blank all of a sudden. I turn the laptop back on, and the screen printed a message for a while saying it forced shutdown due to overheating. I realized it was hibernation after I logged in since I see all my windows) 3. On the second day of use of this laptop, the laptop just shutdown for no good reason, and then couldn't boot, saying it cannot find boot image or something like that. I looked up the web and found that it could be a BIOS issue. It said to try reseting the BIOS setting, and then it worked. I also upgraded the BIOS image to the latest after this incident. 4. This is probably more a router issue, but I initially had problems connecting wireless to my router. It was solved after changing my router. For those who are interested, the details is as the following: my old router supported up to 802.11n , but not 802.11ac, That shouldn't matter, but all wireless connections get disconnected once in every several hours if my HP Spectre x360 is trying to use the wireless. However the wired connections stayed ok when this happens, so the router is only "partially" killed. The fact that all wireless connections are getting killed seemed to me that the router didn't like something from my HP laptop. To be fair, I didn't try not using my HP laptop to see if the issue goes away, so it could be a coincidence that the router started to go faulty at the same time I bought and used my HP laptop. Anyways, it seemed it's a router issue, so after replacing the router. the issue went away. Thanks.

Will investigate and let you know what I can find out.

Video playback and other issues

This might be a 10.6.4 issue or it could be hardware, I'm not sure.
*First Issue:*
Oftentimes, when I try to play video on my Macbook (stats included) the video hangs up and the audio skips like a bad record (remember records? ). This problem is particularly bad when playing videos from the internet but it persists even when the streaming bar is fully loaded in the browser. I took an online masters course this summer and constantly had this skipping issue so I thought it was Adobe and Apple not playing nice since their videos were Flash based. Now, I can see that the problem also occurs when trying to play Quicktime videos. I made an iweb site with a few videos and my Macbook can't seem to play them. However, when I go over to my Mac Mini it has no issues and it has the same processor in it and less RAM.
I know what your thinking; 'check the activity monitor.' I do check the activity monitor, constantly. When this problem occurs I'm never using more than 50% CPU and I usually have at least 1 GB of RAM available although the problem has manifested itself with a much as 2 GB of RAM available and minimal CPU usage.
This issue is starting to get worse and I've had a few kernal panics lately, which may or may not be related.
At the beginning of the summer I reinstalled the system from scratch to see if that would solve the issue; no such luck.
I thought is was the RAM so I tested it with Techtool Deluxe. No problems found with the RAM.
Now, this issue might be related to the second issue but I'll let you decide.
*Second Issue:*
This issue has been around for a long time and I've largely ignored it since all the forums I've been on don't know what to do/can't pin it down.
The issue is that the fan runs constantly at a high RPM no matter what I do.
Again, I check the Activity monitor consistently and I have it set so I can view "All Processes." No 'memory hogs' running.
I also have smsFanControl running and set for 1800 as the min speed.
Furthermore, my wife has the same model computer (only manufactured later) and hers runs whisper quiet while mine sounds like a wind tunnel.
In fact, as I type this I have 1.29 GB of RAM free, 97% of my processor is idle and I'm running at 65C with a fan speed of 6200 RPM.
Any thoughts on either of these two issues would be a help. Thanks

DaddyPaycheck thanks for the info. I am have 7 GB of RAM and my internet access is through cable. I never had this problem before with an older computer with the same internet connection. I am not sure what to do. I recently upgraded to the 30" monitor and a new video card. I purcheased another video card, the ATI Radeon X800XT, but I haven't installed it yet. I am not sure that this will fix my problem. I have all the latest updates for Quicktime and Windows media player. I actually does it when I am playing DVD's as well.

RV042G Log Email and other issues

The RV042G manual said to use this site for support so here goes. After owning and operating the RV082 for many years, I recently upgraded to the RV042G V01. Overall the RV042G hardware appears to function pretty good. The RV042G has faster throughput, but it is slightly slower in command/control response and boot than the RV082. I have now owned the RV042G about two days and have found a number of issues. Specifically, emailing logs doesn't work.
- Emailing logs does not work. RV042G does not appear to handle any type of connection authentication, it does not have a place for the senders user name or password. I have tried SMTP servers that require no authentication and ones that do, none of them work. RV082 worked fine with the Time Warner Cable (TWC) SMTP server, RV042G does not. Additionally, there is NO output in the logs to show a failure. So TWO bugs here. I have checked settings to ensure no blocking rules, have rebooted, and even did a factory default with no luck and absolutely no mention in the logs anywhere of failure to send.
Email is my primary issue, any suggestions on getting this working would be appreciated. I've also identified a number of other issues as well and included them here to avoid multiple posts. These are:
- Port 0 apparently responds to interrogation and shows CLOSED (not STEALTH per grc.com). This was NOT the case for the RV082 and is a potential security vulnerability as it cannot be redirected.
- Port 1 is CLOSED and apparently responds to interrogation. This was NOT the case for the RV082. Normally I would be good on the RV082. I could redirect any OPEN or CLOSED ports to the bit bucket (192.168.1.254 for instance). BUT, the RV042G Port Forwarding is NOT sending things to the bit bucket and instead decides to OVERRIDE the forwarding and respond to queries. So there are TWO bugs here. This is a potential security vulnerability.
- The ALL Logs tab shows nothing, but sub tabs do until AFTER you hit the clear button, then it works as expected. This happens every time you open the logs. Another poster identified this problem so this is confirmation of that issue. Also, once the dialog box for the log has closed, it will not open again until leaving the page and returning.
- Authentication failures will show up in the System Log but not in the Access Log?
- HTTPS html interface works fine in Firefox. However, turn it off and use just HTTP and there is a problem. Can't see the forms and buttons, can only see the background image. This isn't as much of a problem as I can just use HTTPS, however, with the RV082 when HTTPS was activated it would open the remote management portal regardless of whether the button was clicked or not. So really a non-issue but a bug none the less.
- RV082 could send 500 log events, RV042 can only send 100. Again, not a bug but a reduction in capability over the older RV082.
One last thing, your hardware version control numbers and firmware download page are confusing for the RV042G V01. Found this when I checked if there was a newer version of the firmware than what the RV042G shipped with. Here is what the firmware update page shows:
"Cisco RV042G Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router"
"Firmware Release 4.2.1.02 - RV042, RV082, RV016 firmware 4.2.1.02-tm (V3 hardware required)".
The problem is that you reset the hardware version in the RV042G (V01). Just seems probable that someone will download the firmware for the RV042 V01 and try to put it on the RV042G V01.
I like the RV042G overall and will wait for updates for these issues (email logs would be nice sooner rather than later as this is an advertised feature). The RV082 was a great router for a long time ONCE most of the bugs were fixed, hoping the RV042G will be the same.

Guess I spoke too soon. If Remote Management = Disable and HTTPS = Enable, it will OPEN external access to port 443. So have to use an access rule to kill it off. Can STEALTH Port 1 as well with an access rule but have to block all traffic there. Cannot block Port 0 (make it STEALTH) with an access rule and this needs to be fixed in firmware.
So port forwarding does work but not when sent to the bit bucket, have to use an Access Rule instead. (You can see this by doing the following: turn off HTTPS and remote management and look at port 443 from the outside of the firewall. No response at all. Now enable HTTPS and keep Remote Management disabled and forward port 443 to an unused internal IP address. The port still shows up as OPEN but won't connect. Again, the RV082 did not exhibit this behavoir and would simply not provide any response to an external query if forwarded to an unused internal IP address.)
For clarity, I have the RV042G V01 with Firmware Version : v4.2.1.02 (Jan 18 2012 14:10:55).
