RBK753 Port forwarding not working from LAN hosts
Hi,
I just installed Orbi RBK753 in router mode. There is no router in front of it and the netgear router is directly connected to WAN. I have setup port forwarding to forward https (port 443) to an internal host (my NAS device) port 443. If I connect from WAN side, I am able to connect to the internal host just fine, however if I try from within my LAN, the connection attempt just hangs.
My firmware version on Orbi is V3.2.16.6_1.4.4.
Before this I was using the Verizon FIOS Quantum router and everything was working just fine.
Would really appreciate any help here.
Thanks,
Hi Orbira,
I have had no issues with port forwarding at all before and after the hot-fix. The hot-fix firmware which is for the router only has definitely resolved my NAT loopback issue with the RBK852 satellite.
I have DM'ed you with my case number.
Good luck!

Im not sure if this is supported on Orbi. I believe that may need Loopback support. I would ask NG support about this to see if this configuration is possible.
Per the article Which NETGEAR Routers support NAT Loopback, RBR750 is listed there.
Orbi products:
- RBR850
- RBR750
- RBR50v2
- RBR50v1
- RBR40
- RBR20
- RBR10
In any case, this is a big showstopper as I cannot connect to my WebDAV server from my phones/other machines and for me to be able to access them from outside or within LAN, this has to be functional :(. I have opened a support ticket with NETGEAR, let's see what they say.
Thanks
Does it work if you try forwarding a different port than 443 from the WAN IP (still forwarded to 443 on your internal NAS host)? There have been issues with certain standard port numbers and I'm surprised 443 works at all.
