RBR50
Hi
I am trying to setup arlo ultra 2 with port fwding. I tried different option to setup in Orbi RBR50.
Option 1: Lan setup -> DHCP reserved arlo ip address and in port fwding I gave range from 18000 to 19999
(arlo port always shows between that range). No success
Option 2: Lan setup -> DHCP reserved arlo ip address and in port fwding I gave port from Arlo (18xxx) still no success.
I directly connected fios to orbi router (no fios modem). It was working fine when I has arlo pro 3 after moving to Ultra I am facing this issue. I checked this port info 3rd party sites it says port is closed.
Please provide me the solution

Port forwarding is successful when the router has a public IP address. i.e. when the Internet Service Provider (ISP) device is not a "router". (If the ISP device is a router, then that creates what is known as a "Double NAT" condition. An internet search will explain how this interferes with a number of applications.)
The first step is to verity that the Orbi RBR50 WAN is connected directly to the internet with a public IP address. Compare the IP address shown in the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, Internet Port with the results from any of the "what is my IP address?" web sites, such as:
If they are not the same, then Port Forwarding cannot work.

Why the Arlo hub does not need port forwarding.
