Port Forwarding on Orbi RBR750 Router only works if UpNp is disabled....
Hi, I have a single router in my home setup for years without issue...a Nextlite modem provides the 1Gbps input. I have always used Portfowarding to internal devices without any issue on Netge...
Thats not a bug. When ANY kind of manual port forward configuration is configured by a user, then uPnP needs to be disabled. UPnP is an automatic forum of Port Fowarding. It handle most kinds of Port Fowarding needs from devices and apps. In routers manual PF configurations can't be used as the same time as uPnP is enabled. Thus it has to be disabled if PF configurations are set.

Hi,
Thanks for the update - that supports what behavour I observed.
It would have been nice if Netgear support had suggested me to check this especially since UpNp was enabled by default on my router.
