Orbi port forwarding not working on multiple ports

My Orbi rbk33 system is working fine and I’ve upgraded to the latest firmware. I have several foscam IP cameras which I had port forwarded in my old system so I could see them remotely.

 

The first port forward worked fine. However when I try to set up the 2nd one I am getting an error message, “service name already in use and cannot he used twice” I am trying to set-up a completely different port so I am not sure what this error message means or how to get around it.

 

Any suggestions?

I expect you know you can only forward a given external port once.  So, for example, to forward HTTP to more than one camera, you would need to specify a unique outside port for each camera.  Like this: port 8081 forwarded to port 80 on cam1, 8082 forwarded to port 80 on cam2, etc.

If the above isn't the problem, then given the error message you are getting, I would try to create a "custom service" and forward that instead of forwarding HTTP more than once.  It's conceivable you might need to create a custom service for each camera if you run into the same error.
