port forwarding won't work on orbi RBR50
I am unable to open ports on my network. I'm trying to set up some game servers and nothing never works and when testing the ports on https://canyouseeme.org/, they always appear closed Can someone ...
Sure thing, I'm attaching a picture of all the settings.
The ports I actually need are:8766,27015,27016.
I've opened more because of mixed sources telling me I need to open more but still it won't help.
The internal ip I'm using is the one as the computer I'm testing this on.
Your screenshot looks fine.Let's try port forwarding only 8766 to start with, please update the setting to only specify that one port. Then go to https://canyouseeme.org/ and tell us what it says for 8766. Also verify that what it displays for "Your IP" matches http://orbilogin.com Advanced tab's "Internet Port / IP Address" (it should).
Are you running any other Norton or MacAfee products on your Windows machine? Sometimes the antivirus software might come along with a firewall.
Just to confirm (you already said you did this) - Press the Win key, type and search for "network status". Select the first result and verify there is only one active network and it is labeled as "Private network". Is your Windows host only connected by LAN or Wi-fi, not both?
umm there's seem to be a mismatch between what is shown to be my ip on https://www.canyouseeme.org and my actual ip on the router page.
I tried setting to just one port and still it said closed.
this ip not showing anywhere on my router page.

We can't see the image immediately unless you attach it vs. insert in-line. Can you just type in the IP address shown by canyouseeme and what your Orbi says?
It sounds like you may have Double NAT and that would explain why port forwarding doesn't work (it needs to be forwarded past 2 hops). What exactly is the Orbi connected to upstream (make and model of device please)? It may be a router vs. a straight modem, in which case putting it in bridge mode would help.
That image was marked Rejected, which is why is does not appear.
(My guess is that a moderator felt that publishing a public IP address is risky behavior.)
