RBR50 Port Forwarding for Tablo TV DVR

As FURRYe38 pointed out, port forwarding only works if the Orbi is the only router. i.e. the ISP device must be "only a modem".
A quick test is to compare the IP address on the Orbi internet (WAN) port with the results of a web check, such as
If they are not the same, then there is a router between the Orbi and the Internet and port forwarding cannot work.
