Help with portforwarding, how do set a range with the M1424-WR Rev.F?

[heizenbrg]

 Am trying to portforward Call of Duty: Black ops 2, and it's giving me a headache. Portforward.com says the REV.f won't forward ports, I can only DMZ( which I obviously won't do), so I'm following the M1424-WR instructions(http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Actiontec/MI-424-WR/Call_of_Duty_-_Black_Ops_...

Since I only have an input box( the instructions for the different model gives two input boxes to set range) I simply copy pasted " 4379-4380", am unsure if it recognizes it as a range.

Why not just put in 2 port forwarding rules?  one for 4379 and the second for 4380.  just make them a user defined protocol.

I saw the comment at portforwarding.com - sounds ridiculous to me - The MI424-WR_Rev.F will not allow you to forward enough ports, to run Call of Duty - Black Ops II

Even if they don't allow a range there can't be a reason they don't allow a seperate rule for each port.

 Here's the link to the user manual for the router

you need section 6.4  pretty useless manual too

That's nonsense.

Instructions for the rev. F are here:

Yes I will have to agree. I had one of those, and port forwarding worked just fine.

I play on PC. I think I finally found the forum to clear my doubts. I've been an it for two days, trying to figure out what is creating lag on my end. Basically other players see me way before I see them ( the server too, the killcam verifies that), resulting me in getting instantly killed. I figured since I have a good connection (75/35), I pull host and get the bad end of lag compensation, to help players with worse connection. I tried everything: portforwarding,firewall setting, upnp, now I'm trying to play around with QoS. I'm trying to limit by upload speed and download, to less then 1Mbps, in a way that I can "cheat" the system so It looks like I have a bad connection. Am not at home but it will be the first thing I'll try out. Unless I do that, the game is broken for me.
