Hi CrimpOn,
It's fixed!.
The PORT FORWARDING was forwarded to the server IP with TCP only, changed it to TCP&UDP and suddenly i was able to access the website and the security cameras. Seems like I was mistaking about Orbi and it's abilities.
What a strange way of doing it!... you agree?
Thanks

No.
A classic case of posing the wrong question.
Tell people what you want to achieve – "access the website and the security cameras". Don't ask why your solution – "local loopback isn’t available" – doesn't work.
NAT Loopback is a convenient way to test port forwarding. My usual method is a lot more work:
- Disconnect cell phone from LAN
- Open Hot Spot on cell phone
- Disconnect laptop from LAN
- Connect laptop to Hot Spot
- Test port forwarding by connecting to public IP address
- After test, shutoff Hot Spot
- Reconnect cell phone to LAN
- Reconnect laptop to LAN
I'm not surprised that security cameras might need a UDP connection.
