So the PC works if connected the RBR however doesn't work if connected to the RBS?

Not sure what RBR and RBS are, but the PC that cannot port-forward (and therefore cannot host a sever) IS capable of doing everything else I care about on the network, such as accessing the internet and accessing the orbi administration page. And even though it can access the administration page, it cannot be seen on the page.

RBR is the main Orbi router unit.
RBS is the satellite.

I have not tried wiring the computer to the main router. The other devices are discoverable when wired to the main router, so I would assume the computer is too, and that this is an orbi problem.

I would make contact with NG support and let them know.

I would love to, but their support site doesn't work.
