Hi all,
Just thought I'd let everyone know, after speaking with my ISP, they have assigned me a static IP and it all works good now.
The most common cause of port forwarding issues is having "two routers" (often called "Double NAT") when the ISP device is a router and the Orbi is in 'router mode'. Since the PS5 forwarding appears to be open, that is probably not the case here.
Another is that Windows has separate rules for private and public networks. It might be worth ruling out the Windows Firewall by disabling the Firewall (temporarily) to see if that makes the forwarding successful.
Thanks for the reply, I have already tested with the windows firewall disabled for all networks and it made no difference unfortunately.
