Port forwarding on Orbi not working
Hello! I have been having issues portwarding on my Orbi and nothing seems to work. I have an at&t modem (which is not acting as a router) connected to my Orbi. I have done port forwarding on port 25565 on both udp/tcp on both the at&t modem and the orbi router. I have also disabled upnp and the orbi is on router mode. I use a port forward checker and it shows it is closed, any suggestions?

Says who? (Hint: Disabling the wireless-network radios on a wireless
router does not stop it from being a router.)> [...] connected to my Orbi. [...]
Model number? Firmware version?

Ok.

If you're configuring port forwarding on your "the at&t modem", then
it's not a simple modem. Port forwarding is a router function, not a
modem function.For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:

I'd guess "1", because your "modem" is actually a modem+router.
