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.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.
"DSL Modem Router Mode and Wireless Router Mode"
Well this seems to still refer to the modem being in a "router" mode for either one of these settings.
Are you sure the modem is fully bridge? Reason for asking is that by default, the Orbi RBR uses 192.168.1.1 IF, there is no router in front of the RBR. When you say the RBR is using 10.something, this means the RBR detected there was a up stream router in front of the RBR using the same IP address, 192.168.1.1 so the RBR auto changed the IP address to avoid the conflict, thus 10.something is now being used. Which leads me to think that the modem isn't fully bridged. You still maybe in a doubt NAT condition:

https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NATCan you check the RBRs web page on the advanced tab and see if the IP address listed for the internet section is ##.##.###.### or maybe a 192 something address....
