Think of a name, select the start and end ports, the protocol, the last octet of the IP address and click add. Job done.

Well you forward to an IP address and it's the fixing of that IP to a given MAC that is klunky as you have to manually enter the MAC rather than just select it from a list of attached devices like most other routers I've used. True there is every chance that a well behaved router will always assign the same IP to a MAC it has handled before but sfaik there is no guarantee that it will and I wouldn't trust the SH to do so for sure. Once you've done that the SH reboots. It does that for every one. OK I can understand it may need to do so but it should give you the option to defer that until you've finished making reservations. When I had a SH before on one occasion it managed to corrupt the entire fixed IP table somehow and I had to start over. Not showstopping certainly but tedious, annoying, and totally unnecessary.
