Re: Orbi and Screen Sharing (Screens for Mac)

Hi All,
We have just installed the Orbi mesh system at our church. Everything works great -- except for screen sharing.
Everything is updated on the Orbi (router is running V2.3.1.60).
I am trying to use Screens for Mac (by Edovia: https://edovia.com/en/screens-mac/) and cannot do it any longer, since we've had the Orbi. I have logged into the Orbi using orbilogin.net, and gone through all of the settings I can there. The Orbi is set to "AP Mode". Port forwarding/routing is grayed out, so I cannot try anything there currently.
Is there something I can do? I have no settings to change in the Screens app either (went through all of that). Please advise and TIA!!

With Orbi in AP mode, one would guess you have another NAT router in front - this is where you have to configure the port forwarding (ideally with MAC<->IP reservations on the DHCP server). The Orbi is not involved - only doing [W]LAN Layer 2 communications. FMI: https://userguide.screensconnect.com/settings/manual-configuration

Re: Orbi and Screen Sharing (Screens for Mac)
Thanks, that was it. I logged into our AT&T modem gateway, and set the machine in question into the appropriate DMZ settings, etc.
Appreciate it!
