Orbi Doesn't Port Forward 80 to Synology
I am trying to setup synology external access with my ORBI. I was able to quickly setup port forwards using UPnP and all the port seems to be connecting... except port 80. And I think i'm unable to...
You are ahead of me. I thought "Port Forwarding" would be set up on the Advanced Setup Menu "Port Forwarding", not UPnP.
Seems like a pretty straight forward thing to do. Specify that external port 80 goes to port 80 on a particular IP address.
I doubt that DDNS has anything to do with this. I was confused because I thought I was setting up DDNS with "myname", and then found that the actual DDNS name was "myname.mynetgear.com".
I was advised by Synology service tech to not use UPnP as it is unstable and instead to setup port forwarding rules manually.... followed the steps in this article:

I added 3 custom service rules. 1)l ports 5000-5001 2) ports 80, 443 3) ports 9025-9040, 5002, 5004.
I also rebooted the Orbi after adding these changes.
When I check with a port checker tool, all of them are closed...
What can I be missing?
