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!!

 

Model: RBK53|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System, RBR50|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router

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

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!
