Port Forwarding not working

Port Forwarding not working

I am unable to get port forwarding to work. I have the RBR50 with one satellite. Firmware V2.2.1.210. Windows 10 Pro. I am trying to use no-ip to RDC to computer. My hostname matches my public IP so that is correct. I have turned off UPnP. My computer firewall is off. My modem is in bridge mode and so Orbi is router. If I check respond to ping on Internet port I can ping from outside using IP or hostname from no-ip. If I put computer in DMZ then I am able to connect. I am trying port 8001 but have tried several and on portchecktool.com I always get "I could not see your service on port 8001. Reason connection refused." Computer is set to allow remote connections. I have also tried the Dynamic DNS Service option setting on Orbi. What am I missing?

Model: RBR50| Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi (Router Only)

I forgot I had to change the default rdc port. Got it working now.

You may want to update your firmware to v.32 as well.
