Port forwarding disconnects the whole internet CBR40
Hey there so I've been wanting to play with my friends and I'm the only one who knows how to port forward and everything so I do that.
After a while my dad starts telling me the internet is messing up and everything and I'm noticing that too, my ethernet is fine but the satellite messes up as well causing the whole internet to keep disconnecting.
Once I looked into fixes and everything, even my whole computer starts messing up and everything, so I had to reset.
I thought I try again once I changed my windows to private, but it made it worse.
Now I've been told VLAN is what I want, but apparently it's no longer available for ORBI so I don't know what else I could do but here's the log:
So the forum doesn't allow the products I have so I will list them: Orbi Cable Router CBR40 and Orbi Satellite RBS20

What Firmware version is currently loaded on the CBR and RBS?
FW on these should be from this page here:
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/cbk40#download
FW versions between the CBR and RBS should be near or on same version as what the CBR is using.
What game are you trying to play online.
Normally no Port Forwarding is needed as long as uPnP is enabled.
Be sure your setting up the CBR correctly for any PF Configurations. Disable uPnP if you setup any PF Configurations.
Any Criticals, Errors or Warnings seen in the event logs needs to be reviewed and resolved by the ISP. Indicates a signal issue on the ISP line up to the modem.
For the CBS it's v2.5.0.28 and RBS is v2.5.1.16 and it said it was up to date from the online which is odd.
As for the games it's mainly Minecraft
Actually I just updated the Satellite and it's now V2.7.3.22 but the router still wont update as it's apparently the same firmware
