Firmware: 3.0.0.3.108
Port forwarding is completely broken. Adding a new port to forward to does not result in the internal device receiving the data and after checking the "System Log" under the "Port Forwarding" tab I'm presented with an empty forwarding table:
Destination Proto. Port range Redirect to Local port

I ran through these these steps to add a port forward:
- Visit http://192.168.1.1
- Click "WAN"
- Click "Virtual Server / Port Forwarding"
- Type in a "Service Name": ssh
- Type in a "Port Range": 22
- Type in a "Local IP": x.x.x.x
- Type in a "Local Port": 22
- Select "Protocol": BOTH
- Click the "+"
- Click "Apply", wait till page reloads.
- New entry is present
I was able to get forwarding "working" by setting a DMZ host. This, of course, is not true forwarding but it has enabled me to continue using the router while the problem is fixed. It's interesting to note that after adding a DMZ, the port forwarding table shows an entry:
Destination Proto. Port range Redirect to Local port
ALL ALL 192.168.1.9
Issues:
I suspect setting a DMZ host completely breaks any ability to play video games reliably.

Leaving this here in case someone comes by it like I did...
I was getting the same issue with my Asus RT-N53, firmware 3.0.0.4.376_3754.
Problem: After inserting a valid row in the port forwarding table, and clicking on Apply, the row disappears from the table and has no trace in the Port Forwarding System Log. I was using my Macbook Pro OS X 10.11.5 on Wi-Fi (using Chrome 50.0.2661.102 and Firefox 46.0.1) to attempt this without success.
My solution: Used my desktop Windows 10 on Ethernet to successfully add a row to the port forwarding table (and subsequently, the Port Forwarding system log was populated).
My theory: Something is wonky when trying to Port Forward the Asus router on WiFi - try an Ethernet connection (however, this is unsubstantiated until I get a chance to make the same change using Ethernet and my Macbook).
