Orbi w/XFI and Port Forwarding
I have an Xfinity XFI Gateway front-ending an Orbi Mesh Network. I have a web server that I am hosting on my network. Right now I am unable to access my website from outside of my network. Here is...
What Orbi model do you have?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?

- I have configured the XFi gateway for Bridge Mode.
- I have configured a Port Forward rule on the XFi gateway to forward all traffic to port 443 to the Orbi.
- I have configured a Port Forward Rul on the Orbi to forward traffic for port 443 to the IP address on my local network hosting the website.
So my assumption is that the request hits the xfi router, and get's forwarded to the Orbi device which then forwards it to the local device on my network hosting that website.
Can anyone point out what might be wrong with this configuration and if so, what should I do differently?
