Port forwarding does not take effect
Hi When I setup port forwarding on my Orbi unit, it does not take effect. I have forwarded the following ports to our PS4 console 80, 443, 1935, 3478-3480, 3074, 3659, 6000, 10000-10150, 421...
Firmware is V2.3.5.30
There is no modem. Router connected directly to WAN.

What browser are you using?
Be sure to clear all browser caches before entering into the RBRs web page.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
- Yes
Three different browsers tested. But that shouldn't make any difference since the router reports the setting correct in the web browser even in a new browser that I tested. It just doesn't work when tested from either end.So when you applying the configuration, is it the new configuration being seen on the web page or is the Port Forwarding opertation just not working?
Did you disable uPnP before entering the PF configuration?
If you have uPnP enabled, then any PF configursations should not be needed for PS game consoles. uPnP does all the work. If your in a single NAT condition. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

I have at least added ports to the configuration after uPnP was turned off. Don't remember the initial state as it was a while ago.
