inverse portmapping?
Is it possible to define, in the web GUI config (of a RBR850 (AX6000)), a port-mapping that goes the other direction than normal... ie. from LAN to WAN rather than the normal WAN to LAN? Or perhaps I...
The Orbi LAN of 10.0.0.x exists only within the LAN. When any device attempts to connect through the router to an external host, the Orbi uses Network Address Translation NAT to make the device appear to be the Orbi router itself.
See Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation
If the RUT is at 192.168.1.1 and the Orbi is at 192.168.1.X, then any device inside the Orbi LAN will appear to be 192.168.1.X.
All residential routers work this way. Nothing special is required. If the RUT web interface is not accepting connections, there is a different reason.
What specific error message appears?
