XBox network transfer

UPnP is turned off; this feature is only needed if you want the router to open ports to internal devices from the outside automatically and is not needed for any online gaming. It is still recommended by nearly all security professionals to turn off UPnP because of the security risks it presents.
Orbi like all consumer routers do not have a whitelist firewall, so it is not necessary to setup port forwarding or have UPnP enabled for these online services to work correctly. The default configuration is to pass all outbound traffic. You would have to actively block the XBox ports if you wanted to prevent this access.
PF isn't needed for two or more game consoles. Just uPnP and set NAT Filter to OPEN. I set up IP address reservations for my consoles.
Of course, not, PF is not needed if UPnP is used, no even for one console. PF is needed when UPnP is not used if you want the Open NAT type. This is true with or without IP address reservations.
OPEN NAT will be achiveved with uPnP and NAT FIlter for two or more consoles. Theres no need for any PF.
SIngle console, NAT filter can be left Secure with uPnP.
However all of this shouldn't effect network transfers between two consoles on the same LAN side network
