port forwarding won't work on orbi RBR50
I am unable to open ports on my network. I'm trying to set up some game servers and nothing never works and when testing the ports on https://canyouseeme.org/, they always appear closed Can someone ...
umm there's seem to be a mismatch between what is shown to be my ip on https://www.canyouseeme.org and my actual ip on the router page.
I tried setting to just one port and still it said closed.
this ip not showing anywhere on my router page.

We can't see the image immediately unless you attach it vs. insert in-line. Can you just type in the IP address shown by canyouseeme and what your Orbi says?
It sounds like you may have Double NAT and that would explain why port forwarding doesn't work (it needs to be forwarded past 2 hops). What exactly is the Orbi connected to upstream (make and model of device please)? It may be a router vs. a straight modem, in which case putting it in bridge mode would help.
That image was marked Rejected, which is why is does not appear.
(My guess is that a moderator felt that publishing a public IP address is risky behavior.)
