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.
Thanks for this post - I also had uPNP turned on. I'm not sure how it got turned on, it was off for quite sometime. Perhaps during a reboot it default'ed its self back on. <shrug>
I found I also had to:
screenshot my port forwarding settings
delete ports
create new Custom Port Forwards for each entry
that brought them back up again one by one.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
