I have a QNAP Server on my local network. I forgot to add some forwarded ports on the RT-AC88U, which I duly added and applied on the router.
Guess what, they didnt "apply". Not surprised to be honest.
Following is from the QNAP diagnostics, showing previous forwarded ports OK, but not the additional ones:
Found valid IGD : http://192.168.0.1:57944/ctl/IPConn
Local LAN ip address : 192.168.0.1xx
Connection Type : IP_Routed
Status : Connected, uptime=93502s, LastConnectionError : ERROR_NONE
Time started : Sat Sep 23 10:37:38 2017
MaxBitRateDown : 10000000 bps MaxBitRateUp 10000000 bps
ExternalIPAddress = 82.44.209.xxx
0 TCP 8082->192.168.0.113:8080 '2e7cd0cc13f79fac9d309ff1796063xx-Web Admin' ''
1 TCP 8081->192.168.0.113:8081 '2e7cd0cc13f79fac9d309ff1796063xx-Secure Web Serve' ''
2 TCP 10849->192.168.0.113:32400 'Plex Media Server' ''
GetGenericPortMappingEntry() returned 713 (SpecifiedArrayIndexInvalid)


Is this a known problem or is this mean "yet another reboot"?

You probably want to redact your Public IP

You appear to be confused. What you have shown is the state of the automatic port forwarding done by the application itself using UPnP (not manual port forwards). As @Jack Yaz said, what are you trying to forward, and why? How are you determining that they "didn't apply"?

I wanted to add 2 port forwarding rules for QNAP (ports 8083 and 8084) , which i did in ASUS and applied. The QNAP diagnostics shows ones i added a couple of days ago and not the 2 new ones.
Therefore the ASUS "apply" did not take effect.

Both of those ports load the QNAP (I had your original post cached so tested via external IP).
Asus is forwarding just fine.

The QNAP diagnostics will only show the ports that it knows about, i.e. the ones it opened itself using UPnP. It has no knowledge of any ports you have manually forwarded. To see those go to the router's webUI and look at System Log > Port Forwarding.

I suspect that it is working as I can get to your QNAP using ports 8083/8084 (sundown ;)).

Aye, all looks good. Hawkwind were so true with "Hurry on Sundown" :)
Cheers guys.
