Yes, residential routers typically use NAT to completely hide local devices. There is a setting on the Orbi router web interface, Advanced Tab, Setup Menu, WAN Setup that offer two choices for NAT: "Secured" and "Open"
Certain types of internet gaming require that specific ports are forwarded through the router to the game console. If this is the case for this specific game (check their documentation), then it is essential that the Orbi router has a public IP address. i.e. it is not connected to another router. (search for "Double NAT" for more information)

I tried that. It didn’t fix the problem. NAT was still strict. I also tried port forward. I believe I set that up correctly and that didn’t work either.
