Cannot Port Forward on newest update

Cox recently forced an update on my panoramic router. Since this update I can no longer directly Port Forward (PF) from my IP, and instead must use cox.wifi.com.
When I use the required website I face many issues with even getting the confirmation that my settings have been saved. When I do get to save them it adds the random requirement of selecting a device allowed to use the port, and does not actually open the port.
I have not been able to use ANY not pre-opened ports due to this, and can no longer host and use my own private game servers such as minecraft.

When will this be fixed back to the much better way of connecting via IP?

Is there any way I can port forward and open ports in the meantime?
