Specify the desired external port number
("External port range"),

Yes, you need to use a static IP address or a reserved DHCP IP address for the target computer.
How did you reserve the IP address? After you reserve an IP address in Orbi you need to force the computer to renew it's IP address (e.g by rebooting it).

("External port range"),This is the port that the remote computer (outside Orbi) will use to access the computer inside the Orbi network. This is the port that you need to forward in Orbi.
would that be the number recommended in apple remote desktop application then? what the difference between that and this:
the internal port number ("Internal port
range", presumably 3389)

the internal port number ("Internal port
