iirc if it was empty before your mod you will need to:

/etc/init.d/cron restart

Did you enter those lines via LuCI? In this case you need to remove the echo ' and the ' >> /etc/crontabs/root part.

In LuCI you just need to paste:

0 * * * * /usr/sbin/iptables -Z
0 * * * * /usr/sbin/ip6tables -Z

Then wait for the next full hour.

why do you need to restart the firewall rules every hour?

Connection will be dropped.

I am not sure where did that come from. If you want to restart the firewall in crontab, you'll need to use /etc/init.d/firewall restart .
