Can you Remote Desktop to Windows Server via Orbi RBR50 router?
Dear Community, I would be extremely grateful if a member could please answer this question and if it is possible please advise how to achieve. I have been struggling for two weeks and exhausted every...
Check your Windows firewall settings on the server. If you're sure that the external port forwarding is setup correctly, and you're able to get through your external firewall, the only thing that would be blocking it is your internal one.
It's probably configured to only allow your local subnet. You'll need to adjust this as needed, depending on what you want to be able to connect with. Be advised though, that opening 3389 on the internet will net you 1,000s of daily attempts for remote connections. Make sure you have a VERY strong password on your Windows account, and that default accounts are either disabled or renamed.
Thank you for your suggestion Robbie, I neglected to state the server firewall is disabled.
Could it be configuration on the service providers side? I have asked them and they say there are no restrictions.
I’d also be interesting to see if anyone else has manage to successfully RDC through the Orbi RBR50?

I'm a bit late into the game but I too am running into the same issue. I thought it was a port issue so I changed the default port number from 3389 to a different option.
I did this via the registry, I've disabled the firewall, I've routed the proper port to my Windows Server 2016 internal IP and can't get RDP to work from an external connection.
Internally, everything works flawlessly.
