Orbi Port forwarding
I am currently having issue with orbi port forwarding where the port forward does not work until I login into the router's management web interface. Is this normal ?
I have simple setup where modem/router is directly connected to Orbi. Modem/router from windstream is on bridge mode and there is no firewall running on it. NAT filter on Orbi is set at "secure", Even with "Open" I am having similar issue. Beside port forward setting all other setting are default on Orbi. UPnP is turned off.
Please help I dont wish to login into my router's management web interface everytime when I want to access my server.
Model:
Router: RBR750/ AX4200
Satellite: RBS750
Fireware: V3.2.16.22 on both (router and satellite)
Found the source of the issue... So I am having this issue because my ISP is doing NAT444 (Carrier-Grade NAT).
This is how I found out. When I did trace route my first hope was orbi which is normal, but my second hope was not my WAN IP but some public IP of my ISP. So if anyone is having similar issue do above test if your ISP is doing some sort of NAT in their core system then port forwarding might have some issues.
Thank you everything for your contribution.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Seems very odd for this...

Great to hear you found the problem. I presume you have to have the ISP configure something for you so your PF configuration works?
NO.....I have not requested anything to my ISP.. I found out with port forwarding I also have to set port triggering for it to work.. I am still testing but for the past 3 hours it is working flawlessly.
