RBR850 NAT loopback

Hello,   I'm hosting a webserver at home. The site is perfectly accessible from outside the network.   When I try to access it from inside the network, it works via wifi but won't work on an ethe...

    Thank you for the link. It's interesting that it works via Wifi though.

     

    Does anyone know if/when this feature will be completely implemented ?

     

    Thanks

    Currently Orbi AX is not yet included in the list of NETGEAR products that support NAT loopback:

    https://kb.netgear.com/000049578/NETGEAR-Router-support-for-NAT-Loopback

    I just checked the KB and it seems that RBR850 was added to the list.
    That doesn't mean that it works, I'm able to access a resource using an external connection but not using the public IP from within the LAN.

      Same, NAT loopback isn't working for me on the RBR850.  Basically devices connected via Ethernet cannot talk to devices connected to Wifi (same Router).

        That is not the same problem as NAT loopback.  NAT loopback is when the public IP address or domain name of the server does not work within the local network (and presumably the local IP address or name still works).

         

        If your wired and wireless devices cannot communicate with each other then that is probably a different problem.  They can't ping each other's local IP addresses?  Do you have any network switches between your Orbi and the wired devices?  Some network switches, particularly "managed" or "green" ones, cause connectivity problems within the Orbi local network.
