Orbi RBR50 Router Ports
Hello, I have an Orbi RBR50. I was told I need Ports 4500, 500 and 123 open to have something work on it (hard wired). Is there a way to open these ports? Do I need a new router? I need a T-mobi...

The only thing that shows as "wired" is Askey-AP5100W. I don't know what that is? The router itself? The Cellspot isn't listed. I tried a different cable, but that didn't help. I don't know how to check for the ports like you did.
If the T-Mobile does not appear as 'connected', then it is not likely to function. Askey-AP5100W appears to be a WiFi system from Singapore.

That T-Mobile Setup Guide indicates that the Ethernet cable packaged with the device should be used to connect the Ethernet port on the back of the device (#5 with the yellow jack) to one of the LAN ports on the back of the Orbi RBR50.
Normally, the product label will display the Ethernet hardware MAC address of the device in the form of hexidecimal numbers xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx That is the MAC address that should appear in Attached Devices
https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/4g-lte-cellspot-setup-and-help also says that the Internet LED should be solid green.
I see our messages "crossed" in the Internet. If you have good T-Mobile service now.... problem solved!
