Firmware upgrade broke NAT loopback. And I can't downgrade the firmware. God fucking dammit. This is beyond frustrating. [I know it's a problem with the router because when I switch to my other router it works perfectly fine.]
I called my ISP and they told me they can't downgrade the firmware.
I called the manufacturer and they told me my ISP manages the firmware.
Fucking hell.
EDIT: Disabling express forwarding seems to enable the NAT loopback. I have no idea why the fuck this is the case, I'm 99% sure it's a bug, but whatever.
EDIT2: Disabling express forwarding seems to have had no noticeable impact on latency lol. I compared the latency with and without express forwarding and there is no noticeable difference.
EDIT3: Disabling express forwarding seems to have reduced my wifi speed down to 100mbps...fucking hell.
