BUG: Orbi970 TCP/UDP Port Forwarding is really just TCP (Need explicit UDP forward to work)
The feature set of this $2000 router is so disappointing sometimes...
I found another Bug in the Orbi 970's "Port Forwarding / Port Triggering" feature
I wanted to set up an ARK Server for the kids (TCP:7777, UDP:7777, TCP:27015) which worked fine on my Linksys routers but this is Netgear. So I set up TCP/UDP:7777 port forwarding to by server but could only connect directly, NOT over on the Orbi970's public IP...
FIX: (12 hours thinking it couldn't be the Netgear later) I figured it out.
Create them individually!
1. DELETED the TCP/UDP:7777 Port Forwarding you set up (Its broken)
2. CREATE ONE UDP:7777 Port Forwarding
3. CREATE ONE TCP:7777 Port Forwarding
It's a Bug, fix it... Holding breath...
