Hello,

Router = Buffalo WZR-1750DHP/D running DD-WRT v3.0-r48810 std (05/06/22) and it is working properly.

Two questions inbound.

1. I have experienced a password character change after r46885. I can still use all of the symbols that are mapped to the numbers, 1 to 9, above the letters on a keyboard, which is to say the !@#$%^&*() but i cannot use any of the symbols mapped to other keys like <?>:"~{}[]. The password just does not save if i use those other symbols. Has there been a password character change?

2. Games are played alot at my home and the name of some games are long IMO like BlackOpsColdWar.exe, iw6mp64_ship.exe and DemonwarePortMapping which do not fully fit in the Port Forwarding boxes. Can the NAT/QOS name allocation be increased to say thirty characters in an soon to be released revision?

Yes there has been a change, and use shorter application names.

The portforwarding name is just a descriptive name and does not have to be the same as the executable.
But it fills up your nvram so I would be cautious not to use very long names Smile

About the password I have to check but it is possible the last change is not to allow those characters Smile

On current builds if you enter an invalid character it will tell you, it wont even allow you to save.

Ive taken the liberty to modify the topic title to a relevant title to the question and also marked it as solved-again.

Take care.
