RBR750 Local NAT Loopback Not Working
I am having issues with NAT Loopback not working with my RBR750 when accessing a resource on my local LAN. I've reviewed this thread (Orbi NAT Hairpinning/Loopback Not Working - NETGEAR Communities)...
I do have two RBS750 satellites on the mesh. I have not attempted to set up the modem in routing mode as it is an Xfinity provided router and to my knowledge and research understand Xfinity blocks local NAT loopback if serving as the router.
Ok, was wondering about the RBS as your still on older FW and newer v7 FW doesn't work with RBS350 series. The RBS750 series is good with v7 FW. Could try updating to v.21 FW and see if this changes anything.
Wondering if the ISP could block any router for NAT loopback...not sure here.
Thank you. I will try to update the FW tonight and report back.
That would be interesting if ISP would be able to block. From my experience with routing, the RBR should have identified the resolved IP address as itself and not even forwarded to the modem.
The other thing to note is that I've configured DHCP for local clients to use the RBRs LAN address as the DNS server. I may try to override and use Google or Xfinity DNS addresses just to see if it is a local name resolution issue.
Be sure to update the RBS first, then the RBR lastly.
