Using the Mac Remote Desktop software - Mac to Mac remote management

Hiya,

I have recently purchased the Orbi RBK53 Router with two satalites.

 

When i connect to the Orbi network i cannot remotely manage my iMac using the Mac software Remote Desktop, when i switch to the default broadband routers wifi it works no problem. What settings do i need to enable/add to the Orbi to enable this to work please?

 

I think the Remote Desktop uses the following ports on a MAC

 

Any ideas?

  • What FW is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

     

    How are the Macs connected to the orbi system? Wired or Wireless?

    Where are the Macs connected, to the base router or the satellite, one at the base router and the other at the satellite?

    If there both on the same connection point, there shouldn't be any configurations needed.

        Have you tried resetting the router and the satellites?
