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/...

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.- Rolls87Jul 02, 2020Aspirant
I've tried the above and it still seems to not allow online play.
RE: Orbi IP, Yep, it's definitely bridged as there are 2 modes to select:
DSL Modem Router Mode and Wireless Router Mode
and mine is set on DSL Modem Router Mode.I didn't make the settings as 10.xxx on Orbi, It was already setup like that.
