ORBI RBR50 - TCP & UDP Port opening
Hi, I've been trying to get the latency of Battlefield down on my PS4 and was told by EA Games that I needed to get the ISP to open the following ports: TCP: 3074 UDP: 88,500,3074,3544,4500 ...
Those ports would open automatically if you have uPnP enabled on the RBR if your in a single NAT condition. Opening ports doesn't work for latency. If you confiured PF rules, then you need to disable uPnP.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance?
For PS, Type 2 will be the highest level you'll see with a wifi router behind a modem.
Thanks for the reply.
It looks like UPnP is enabled (Screenshot attached). So is it better to delete PF rule or keep it and disable UPnP?
The ISP router that my Orbi is connected to is:
Huawei
EchoLife HG8240T
Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve the latency if this won't work?
Your ISP ONT already has a built in router I believe. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode. uPnP could be enabled here and no PF configurations or vs versa...
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
