RBR50 Port Forwarding / DMZ
I just joined. This should be straight forward. I've tried both DMZ and Port Forwarding. This is all on my LAN. Just need to ping or ssh from the DESKTOP to the Raspberry Pi. Both ping and ssh work f...
Thanks bud! Agree that the two router and double NAT is problematic.
Just quickly.... the cable modem/router is on-perm (in my home) ISP equip, they are hard coded to the 10 net, and have limited access to features (it seemed). I have my own Wi-Fi Router - a mesh network, that distributes 192 addresses to dozens of clients. So, yeah, tunneling thru TWO routers was/is the issue I think.
I now think there is a way to turn off the cable modem's router personality and make it simply a modem. Then my Orbi mesh router will be presented with the Internet IP and I'll have a single device to punch a hole thru for ssh access to my Pi. With more features to setup a DMZ or Port Triggering or Port Forwarding... whatever make sense.
Thanks again!

"On-permises"? (Bad spelling of whole words is easier to decipher
than bad spelling of abbreviations.)

That would work, too, if it's possible. Sadly, with my weak psychic
powers, and a description like "the cable modem", it's tough to be sure
of much. Note that if you do that, then all your client devices must be
connected to the Orbi gizmo(s), not to your (unspecified) "the cable
modem". (Only the main Orbi router would connect to your "the cable
modem".)

You don't need to "punch a hole thru" anything to access the R-Pi
"all on [your] LAN". If you want to access the R-Pi using SSH from the
outside world, then I'd advise using port forwarding. In which case,
look for "If you ever do get this stuff working" in:
