RBK753 Port forwarding not working from LAN hosts
Hi, I just installed Orbi RBK753 in router mode. There is no router in front of it and the netgear router is directly connected to WAN. I have setup port forwarding to forward https (port 443) to...
Hi Orbira,
I have had no issues with port forwarding at all before and after the hot-fix. The hot-fix firmware which is for the router only has definitely resolved my NAT loopback issue with the RBK852 satellite.
I have DM'ed you with my case number.
Good luck!
Do you have more information on the hotfix. The person I am working within Netgear has no clue about the hotfix.
Thanks

I logged the call 2 days ago with support and it has been escalated to level 3. Apparently, there is a hot-fix about to be launched for the RBK752 to remedy this NAT loopback issue and they are also waiting for feedback from firmware engineering whether this hot-fix will be compatible with the RBK852 or not. (They are very similar in setup)
I have tried assigning and forwarding different port numbers and this did not help. This seems to be purely a NAT loopback issue which is not fully supported and is contradictory as to what is specified and advertised by Netgear. Very frustrating to say in the least!
Hot-fix for both models was issued yesterday. It has resolved my RBR852 satellite NAT loopback issues.
- How do I get access to those? I don’t see a firmware upgrade available. Can you please provide me with your case number and I can ask them to give me the same hot fix.
Thanks Thanks for letting us know. Let us know if this resolves this Port Fowarding issue as well. IF so, please mark it as solved so others will know.
Thank you.

I am marking this as a solution, even though I don't have the hotfix firmware, but the firmware is actually just setting bridge-nf-call-iptables to 0 and I have been using that as a workaround by
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables
Thanks everyone for helping out with this.
I've had the same problem and have been dealing with technical support for almost 2 months now to get a fix for the NAT loopback (hairpin NAT) issue. I just checked in yesterday to see that there was a HOTFIX that finally came out for the issue. I tried calling in for that fix yesterday and spent another 2 hours on the phone with NO RESOLUTION WHATSOEVER.
I would really appreciate if you/anyone could please provide the HOTFIX firmware version number, filename, contact name, and any other reference you may have that will allow tech support to get me the patch that resolves the NAT loopback issue?
Thanks in advance,
