Default Need help with port triggering

Ok, so I need to trigger some ports b/c I have multiple devices which have to access the same ports. Atm I need to trigger ports for Steam ranging 27000-27030. I'm having a little trouble in that I'm not quite sure what to put in the triggering port. It seems as if I can't put a range of ports as the trigger but only input one trigger port at a time. Am I doing it wrong or did Netgear castrate port triggering in this firmware?

Oh ya, using a 37AV. Came in a black box so I'm assuming it's a r4 board. (black box doesn't have 2r1/r21/etc serial numbers)

It's actually a bit odd the way the triggering section is set up..

Usually hardware allows you to trigger 1 port to 1 port
or multiple ports to multiple ports

But as you said, this router seems to force you to set 1 port to multiple ports.
Since it's only 30 rules then I would just set up 1 for each port :/

I would make a suggestion on my.netgear.com and ask for them to support multiple trigger ports.. After the cheap non-enligsh speaking staff reply saying it requires level 2/3/4/898 tech support, just reply again to keep it active until you get a real non-generated responce ;P

On the flip side, depending on what game isnt working, I would send an email to the publisher and ask them why such a popular game such as (xxxx) made by such a well respected company as (yyyy) cant have uPnP to set the ports.

Thank you for the confirmation. Guess I'll bug support and try to get them to add this feature in a firmware update.
