Glad you figured it out. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Good Luck. 📡
Hello, thank you for your reply.
Ports are opened and listening. I can telnet to both servers internally, but I cannot connect when I am outside of my network.
I tried to connect using the ddns service and the public IP address that I see in my Orbi control panel. I have the same results. No connections.
Open and listening is reported by a web site?
Yes, I used it for years, with a previous router and Orbi. It stopped working during the last couple of months. I do not use it outside too often, so I am unsure when it stopped.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Any new changes on the Orbi system in last couple of months? When was FW last updated?
If nothing was changes on the Orbi system, possible a ISP issue.
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Thank you for your reply.
I use NETGEAR Cable Modem CM1000.
I did not change anything major on my router for some time now. Maybe I added a couple of IP reservations for some of my new devices.
I followed your advice to unplug the modem and router and started as you recommended, but it did not help.
