Directions for Port Forwarding don't match what's on my screen.
I'm trying to follow the directions for setting up Port Forwarding on my new Orbi RBK753, but the directions seem to be wrong. I've seen several comments like the instructions at https://kb.netgear....

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

I've seen several comments like the instructions at https://kb.netgear.com/31069/How-do-I-configure-port-forwarding-on-my-Orbi-system, which work down to step 5. Then step 6 says to select ADVANCED, which I do, and get a page that doesn't seem to contain the phrase "Advanced Setup" anywhere. There's "Advanced", and "Setup", but neither of them leads to a page that mentions "Port Forwarding". I do see that the page is dated 03/29/2017, so I'm guessing that it's somewhat out of date. But poking around more doesn't seem to help, and neither does copying the above phrases into a search widget; it just gets a whole load of pages that use those words but don't tell me how to make it work on my new gadget.
So does anyone know where I might find instructions for Port Forwarding that work on this current router? Is there perhaps a way to restrict searches to only articles that have recent dates? Or can I somehow limit the search to the model that I have? It might help if there were an actual reference manual for it, but I haven't found any mention.
Meanwhile, I have a web site that is totally inaccessible to the public because the new RBK753 is blocking access from the outside world ...
