If I open up port 443 on my Arcadyan Smart Modem, it only stays open for a couple of minutes before it starts blocking requests again. The rule itself does not delete from the "Network > NAT > Port Mapping" page. I can fix it for a few minutes by saving the rules again. Alternatively, is it possible to use it as just a model and bridge to my ubiquiti switch? In general, is there any decent documentation for this box? 

 

I have been pretty disappointed with this thing as the specs looked good on paper. Can't wait to get back on fibre so I can drop it and connect direct to the ONT.

Hi, you cannot use a switch as a router, so bridging your modem/router without another router to take up the routing task aint going to work

Hi Cyril. You're right, I couldn't bridge to a dumb switch. I probably should have been a bit clearer what I meant. I have a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter, which is a switch with a few higher layer capabilities. I (incorrectly) normally refer to it as a switch. Thanks!

Hi, so the Huawei routers are readily bridged, and in your case would strongly recommend you do it, you can get them on Trademe for not a lot, so that might be one way to go.

 

As for the Smart Modem, I would guess it can be bridged, not had one to see, maybe @hio77 can advise.
