Hi I am having issues setting up port forwarding on my Orbi router, what happens when I set the port forwarding rule up the internet stops working delete the rule and the internet starts working. The rule I am setting up is a port 8080 to an IP address on me network The set up I have is VM Router in Modem mode Orbi 50 running with one satalite I have checked for double NAT and there is not one I only get the router IP when doing a tracecert

What Firmware is currently loaded?What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Both wired and wireless internet access goes down? How do you have Port forwarding configured? Did you disable uPnP before setting up any PF rules?

It is the latest firmware as just down loaded when trying to configuare set up is just a simple add custom rule port 8080 no special configurations all default likewise default settings on router

Sorry meant to add wireless and hardwire who use hard wire what’s a wire 😀

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Please try a different port, say 8181? Same thing?

Yep tried 8080, 8081, 8082 all same restults
