DMZ does not work

[crimvo]

Hey all,

Just got the Orbi AC3000 RBK50 router mesh network, and so far its great except that DMZ is not working. Port forwarding seems to work, but I would rather manage the firewall for my server using IP Tables, as I have always done, and forwarding to that using DMZ. However even though I have the correct server set in WAN setup for default DMZ server, it is not opening the ports. When attempting to telnet to 22 for instance, I get connection refused, until I add that port to forwarding.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?

So your using a different DHCP server on the same network?

Are you sure that your ISP modem/router is not the one who blocks the telnet request and not Orbi?

Do you see any input in the Orbi Logs when you try the telnet?
