Netgear Orbi RBR50 Port Forwarding for Xbox
Hi All, Looking for some guidance as I have followed instructions to port forward but seems to not be working right as when I search for the port on https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/...
So I've done a full reset on the TP LINK Modem and NG Orbi...
Pic attached.
TP Link is in Bridge mode and I have turned OFF DHCP.
I've then set up Orbi and it automatically said that it's changing my IP to 10.xx.x.x.x
Internet and everything seems ot be running again but XBOX console companion still showing NAT TYPE as Strict.
I'm out of ideas!

Your modem is not fully bridged. IF you setup the Orbi from scratch again and it's using 10.x.x.x then the RBR is detecting that the modem is using 192.168.1.1 and the Orbi is avoiding this conflict by changing to 10.something on the LAN side.
I recommend you contact the Modems mfr and have them help you fully bridge the modem. Maybe try a different modem, like a stand alone modem with out a built in router.
