Huawei DG8041W not opening ports

In another thread it has been confirmed by Keith French that there is an issue with this router when trying to configure webserver (port 80) or secure shell (port 22) access. This is a particular problem for me as I need both services. It is also a surprise since the port forwarding setup automatically allocates these ports when you select these options and this would suggest to me that limited testing of the product has taken place before its general release. This is a shame as there appears to be a lot of other very useful features with this router.

 

My reason for this post is to try and ensure that, as I assume that a revised f/w will be needed to solve the problem, and I cannot leave the router connected (because it cannot support my web server) someone advises me when the new f/w is available.

 

Unless and until I have f/w that will allow these ports to be opened the router is of little use. I would be obliged if an OCE would ensure that I am on a list of users to be notified when the issue is resolved. I am certain that I am not the only one with this problem.

Many thanks,

Chris
