Did you disable uPnP on the RBR before setting up any port forwarding configurations?
What FW version are you using?
Has this configuration ever worked for you?

Yea... did all that. Both individually for each port and again with the ports with commas.. neither seemed to work.

A: No, after disabling it and configuring can I turn it back on? The guy who is using the system really needs it to be on.
What FW version are you using?
A: The latest the update tab checks: Ver. 1.1.0.16
Has this configuration ever worked for you?
A: It did with another router. I believe it was the Nighthawk Router.

I just found a page that says the latest Firmware is above 2.0 while the orbi its self is set for auto updates but still has the 1.1.0.16 version... what *IS* the latest version...(sigh)

Wow, v16 is the very first version released for Orbi.
You get beyond that you'll need to apply v74, then v212, then you can go to latest if you want to.
All version of FW for RBS and RBR 50 series is here:

Update the RBS first then RBR lastly.
