Port forwarding fails on RBR50
Greetings ,
I want to open a database connection from my internal laptop but the port forwarding doesn't seem to work. Here are the steps I made :
1. created an account in Dynamic DNS and associated with my public IP.
2. defined this DNS account setting on Orbi administration page.
3. registered my target laptop to a static IP (192.168.10.x)
4. Made sure that the internal port is up (netstat -an 3306 : 0.0 listen)
5. Defined a port forwarding outer port : 7701 inbound port 3306 IP 192.168.10.x
After this setting telnet <dynamic_DNS_name> 7701 results in timeout.
I strongly believe that I am getting blocked by a firewall, but I don't seem to find a clue yet. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Was uPnP disabled on the RBR?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
