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.
Thank you all so much for all the help. I'll try powering off all the extenders and switching to AP mode and what-not soon. I'll report back anything in a day or two when I have the time to mess with the internet.

This is ridiculous.
I've turned my Orbi back to AP mode and turned all the satellites and the Orbi router off and on and it still isnt working.
ugh.
Are you sure you have the ISP modem/router configured correctly?
What happens if you conenct your PC directly to the ISP Modem with out connecting to the Orbi?
No wait! It did work!
Sorry for the late response, I was busy playing Red Alert with my friends the rest of the night.
Wow, it realy was "Did you try turning it off an on?"
Thanks for all the help, you guys are the best!
Glad you finally got it working. Enjoy now. Hope the family will enjoy too. :smileywink:
I would do a save configuration to file on both ISP modem and Orbi.
