Netgear Orbi RBR50 Port Forwarding for Xbox
Hi All,
Looking for some guidance as I have followed instructions to port forward but seems to not be working right as when I search for the port on https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
or https://www.canyouseeme.org/
The ports still seem to be closed/blocked.
For further context, I am trying to open ports 88 and 3074 to open up the NAT TYPE for XBOX LIVE connection that I play on my PC. i.e. Playing multiplayer Forza Horion 4 on PC.
I have already configured my desktop PC to have a static IP of 10.0.0.88.
Image of the port forward section attached.
Some info for my router here:

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
PF isn't needed, just enable uPnP and set a IP address reservation for your PC.
Modem is TP Link N300 W9977
Modem is set to run as Modem only although UPnP shows "on" but no data there.
On the NG Settings:
LAN Section - I've put address reservation for 10.0.0.88 (my PC)
UPnP Section - UPnP is already ON.
Advert period (in mins) = 30
Adver time to live (in hops) = 4
Attached is a screenshot. My PC with IP 10.0.0.88 shows there too.
So even with the modem in modem only mode, the Orbi is using a 10.something IP address? I guess this will work too. Normally Orib would use 192.168.1.1
Need to be sure the modem is fully bridged.

If you're port forwarding to a Windows machine, you also have to set the network to Private. Any new wireless network defaults to Public and has the firewall blocking incoming ports. Even if your new Orbi has the same SSID as your old wireless it counts as a new network and defaults again to Public.
In Windows, search for "wifi" and go to Wi-Fi Settings. Click on the current network that it shows as Connected, the next Settings screen presents you a Network Profile toggle between Public and Private. Select Private because it's your home network and ports don't need to be blocked.
