Port Forwarding for Tablo Quad

I am trying to set up port foward on my orbi router to lock in the Tablo i have.   The UNPC is not working and I keep having to uncheck and check remote access.  

 

If I send screenshots can someone guide on how to set this up correctly

 

 

Thank you in advance

    What Firmware is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Any built in router here by chance?

     

    If uPnP is enabled on the RBR, then you may not need any PF configurations.

        I keep forgetting to ask how you administer the Orbi: using the Orbi web interface or using the Orbi "app".

        Port forwarding can be set up only using the web interface.

        It is on the Advanced Tab->Advanced Setup->Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.  This is described in Chapter 8  of the Orbi User Manual:

    The Tablo User Guide (Chapter 6) seems to have the information required to set up port forwarding, if you think it is necessary.

    I am such a "homebody" that being able to access my DVR from elsewhere isn't relevant.
