Orbi Wifi 6 RBK353 - port forwarding turns off after a few days
Hello! I'm on firmware V4.4.0.10_2.10.63. I've set up fairly standard port forwarding. It works when I first set it up, but then after a few days - it stops working. I can go in to the setting...
hello!
Thanks for your quick reply.
The router just connects straight to the little Openreach Fibre thing, which doesn't seem to have a manufacturer or model number on it - it's just a wall mounted box, about 8cm x 8cm that says "Openreach" - connected by Ethernet to the Orbi router... & then has the fibre cable to the internet coming out of it on the other side. Worked with my previous 2 routers doing port forwarding absolutely fine, though.
Yes - IP reservations are set .
No - haven't turned off uPnP. Does Orbi only support Port Forwarding with uPnP turned off?
Most routers need uPnP disabled if you set a manual PF configuration. Something to try.
Ah, cool. I have really very little idea what uPnP is - so I'll turn that off & see how we go! 🙂
Thanks!
Think of it as a automatic port forwarding configuration tool. Automatically sets up port configurations were needed with out any user intervention.
