Unable to turn off UPnP

I've been trying to disable UPnP on my Thompson TG585 v7 router so that I can play Battlefield 3 without constant disconnects that seem to plague the game if UPnP is on.
I'm able to access the gateway and uncheck the box for 'use UPnP'.
However, a few minutes later the router resets itself ( I lose internet connection for a few minutes) and when it comes back online UPnP is enabled once more!
I've tried this several times and the same thing keeps happening, can anyone advise me on how to disable UPnP and keep it disabled, and what I might be doing wrong.
Many thanks.

Just need to figure out how to keep it disabled
Edit: To clarify if I try the process laid out on the video, after I uncheck the UPnP box and hit apply, the page refreshes (theres no loading bar like the guy on the video had) and UPnP now shows as disabled. Then approx 2 mins later the router resets and UPnP now displays as enabled.

If you don't have the latest f/w ( see here http://community.plus.net/library/hardware/how-to-upgradedowngrade-the-firmware-on-the-thomson-585v7... ) then see if a f/w upgrade helps.
Try disabling upnp from the CLI rather than the gui and see if that makes the change permanent. The Cli command is
Quote system config upnp = disabled
then use the
command to save the change. You will need to Telnet into the router to use the CLI commands ( see here http://npr.me.uk/telnet.html )

Using the CLI and telnet fixed the issue, upnp has remained off!

I suspected it was more likely a dodgy router, but if it's worked, then fine and useful to know for any future posters.
