Can't Port Forward or Host Game Servers with Orbi
Hi, i've been searching around online for quite a while now and se a lot of people have had problems with port forwarding on orbi systems. But i haven't seen an article or forum post like with mine. ...
Ok. Take your time when doing it and start with the Orbi router first. Turn off the satellites and don't worry about them until you have the Orbi router setup and tested. Ensure the configuration of the ISP modem is correct for your gaming needs. The Orbi in AP mode will only just pass thru data from the modem to your PC. It won't effect what you have set up on the modem/router while in AP mode.
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
I appreciate the nearly instant feedback, but i dont understand any of that. I have no idea what any of that is. if FW is forward i have forwarded 14242, 1234, and 28754, all being both UDP/TCP. Those ports are also on my main router and the orbi.
FW=FIrmware version.
What is the brand and model# if the ISP modem that the Orbi is connected too? Also what is the Brand and model of the main host router you have the Orbi connected too?
If your using a host router in front of the ORbi router, then you maybe in a double NAT condition which would impede Port Forwarding configurations.
Firmware: 01.04.00.10-FTR
Model: FiOS-G1100
Brand: Frontier
The Router is on the table while the Orbi is below the table in relation to the Double NAT thing.
