Port Forwarding Not Working RBR750
I have been having trouble with my Plex server not being accessable remotely. One the troubleshoot tips was to assign a static IP to the NAS and assign port 32000. I have done both of those and it hasn't helped.
I went to verify on https://portchecker.co/ if the port was open, and it is showing closed. I also checked other ports, like 80, and they are all closed. Reading on the forums, I also confirmed that my external IP is the same as is displayed under the advanced tab. I disabled UPnP as some people said that might help.
I have run out ideas as to why I can't seem to get the port forwarding working.
Thanks

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
