What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

I just installed an RBR853 system, replacing my RBR50, so I have some familiarity with ORBI.  Ihave set up port 80 forwarding to a specific machine on my network (VAULT).  My public IP address is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.  I have 3 problems, which may be related.

 

1. When port forwarding is disabled, accessing http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80 via a browser sends me to the ORBI remote management interface, even if I explicitly disable it!
2. When port forwarding is enabled, http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80 correctly sends me to VAULT's IIS server on all machines on my network except VAULT itself.  Trying to access http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80 from VAULT times out.
3. Regardless of the state of port forwarding, accessing https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX sends me to the ORBI remote management interface, even if I explicitly disable it.

Accessing the ORBI via http://machine.com:8443, as recommended by the Remote Management page respects the setting of "Turn Remote Management On.  Disabling Anywhere Access via the ORBI app on my iPhone has no effect on any of the above behaviors.

 

Problems 1&3 are security risks if a user sets a weak password thinking that only machines inside the firewall can access the router (admittedly a poor choice, but users will be users).

 

Problem 2 breaks assumptions made by the software running on VAULT and makes it impossible use this machine as it is intended and as it worked with my previous ORBI system.

 

Thanks in advance for any help that may be rendered!
