Port forwarding does not take effect
Hi When I setup port forwarding on my Orbi unit, it does not take effect. I have forwarded the following ports to our PS4 console 80, 443, 1935, 3478-3480, 3074, 3659, 6000, 10000-10150, 421...

So when you applying the configuration, is it the new configuration being seen on the web page or is the Port Forwarding opertation just not working?
Did you disable uPnP before entering the PF configuration?
If you have uPnP enabled, then any PF configursations should not be needed for PS game consoles. uPnP does all the work. If your in a single NAT condition. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

The new setting is shown on the web page.
I have at least added ports to the configuration after uPnP was turned off. Don't remember the initial state as it was a while ago.

If you remove the PF configuration and use uPnP, does the PS connect and game?
- MagixiansApr 27, 2020TutorWell, that's secondary. Port forwarding should still work, right đ

What IP address do you see on the Advanced Tab Home page for the internet connection? Is it a ##.##.###.### address or a 10 or 172 or a 192 address?
PF should work if your in a single NAT condition and uPnP is disabled.
