Re: Orbi RBR50 Port Forwarding not working

FastFreddy · ‎2018-05-10

I just cannot get port forwarding working on the RBR50.

It’s on the default setting of Router and connected to BT with an Openreach modem via PPPOE

All I’m trying to do is make an http page on a Raspberry Pi webserver (192.168.1.254) accessible to the outside world.

I have Reserved the Pi’s ipaddress in Lan Setup before adding it on the port forwarding page.

UPnP is not enabled

It has a public WAN IP address

I would have thought this would be enough but it doesn’t work…

Is there more that needs to be done?

Any advice appreceated.

Does that bt modem have a built in router? if so do you have it bridged or set to modem only?

No router - just bridged. Its just a modem...

What port are you trying to forward?

I have a Raspberry pi on the network serving a web page, so port 80.

Just want to make it accessable on the wan.

It's really only a test. I actually need to get my VOIP phone working but thats another story...

Usually port 80 is limited to be accessed from your internal network; the reason being it usually is assigned to the web admin interface.

My orbi's remote management port is 8443.

If I enable that in settings it works!

I should be able to port forward 80 - in fact I'n not able to port forward any ports!

What happens if you set Nat Filter from Secure to Open? Apply settings and reboot then configure PF rules. Can change back to Secure after testing...

Its working now. Entirely due to a misconfigured device on the network.

Never known anything like it. It shafted the Orbi!
