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/...
"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:

Can 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....
So I've done a full reset on the TP LINK Modem and NG Orbi...
Pic attached.
TP Link is in Bridge mode and I have turned OFF DHCP.
I've then set up Orbi and it automatically said that it's changing my IP to 10.xx.x.x.x
Internet and everything seems ot be running again but XBOX console companion still showing NAT TYPE as Strict.
I'm out of ideas!

Your modem is not fully bridged. IF you setup the Orbi from scratch again and it's using 10.x.x.x then the RBR is detecting that the modem is using 192.168.1.1 and the Orbi is avoiding this conflict by changing to 10.something on the LAN side.
I recommend you contact the Modems mfr and have them help you fully bridge the modem. Maybe try a different modem, like a stand alone modem with out a built in router.
