Orbi port forwarding not working
Hi, I am trying to set up port forwarding on my Orbi AX4200. The purpose is to set up remote access to my Plex server running on a Synology NAS, which is connected to one of the satellites of my...
Having the same exact problem. Bought the fancy new Wifi6 Orbi, using a Synology NAS that's directly connected to it, and remote access claims it's working... and then like 3 seconds later... it stops working. I've tried port forwarding, still stops working. I've tried manually defining the public port. Still doesn't work. And I know 300,000% that it's the Orbi that's my problem, because when I swap back to my Linksys router, it absolutely works without issue. Also, I expected UPNP to just make this work. It doesn't. Why is my outbound connection being switched off after just a few moments?
I haven't mentioned this before in this thread but this has worked in the past for me. I set it up my Plex server on the Synology NAS right after I got the Orbi (Sep 2020) and I could enable Plex remote access (and access my music library through the Sonos app). Then I haven't used it in a while (mostly use Spotify and other streaming services on Sonos) and now when I tried to use it again it didn't work. Extremely frustrating. If you got your Orbi just recently, do you still have access to Netgear support? I think you have it for three months after purchase (unless you pay to extend it).
I am also having this issue. Plex on my synology nas shows I have a connection from outside and I have a green check. however, canyouseeme.org shows my external plex designated port as closed. I have Upnp both enables and disabled and I have the proper port forwarding set up in the router pointing to the nas. In my case external port 32605 to internal 32400 at my Nas IP of 192.168.11. Did anyone figure this out?

The description is not entirely clear (to me).
- When Synology shows there is a connection from outside, does that mean that
A setting has been made to allow connections from outside, or
That a connection from the outside actually exists right now? - UPnP is enabled or disabled? (which?) Is this UPnP
On the Synology device, or
On the Orbi router? - Was there a specific reason to use a different port besides 32400 for Plex access from the internet?
The public IP address reported by canyouseeme.org matches the Internet IP address on the Orbi advanced tab home page?
