RBR750 - Cannot port forward to PC connected to satellite router
Using latest firmware V4.6.5.14_2.0.54 Computer is running Windows 10 Setup: Spectrum Modem -> wired connection to Orbi base router -> wireless connection to Orbi satellite -> wired connection t...
The only difference is how they are connected to the network. The one currently working to host my server is connected wirelessly. The one that wouldn’t work, was wired into my satellite Orbi.
Can you connect the one PC that wouldn't work to the this server to see if it connects correctly there?
Already done. I'm hosting a Project Zomboid server from the PC connected wirelessly. The wired PC is my personal/gaming one, and connects to the internet and the rest of my LAN just fine, and I can play on the PZ server from it. It just isn't recognized by Orbi administration tools.
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.
What do you mean? Whats happening?
