Port forwarding not working

[Spunky424]

Recently got my Orbi and upgraded from a R7000 router where i had a few ports open via port forwarding. i mimicked the same ports on the orbi and saved the settings but using a port checker the ports are still closed? how do i get this to work? i've tried numerous ports and different ip addresses. the ip addresses on my devices are static, so that is not the issue. any help is appreciated.

Are you trying to port forwarding to a Windows PC?  When you change routers the network may default to private so the Windows firewall will block the incoming port until you make the network public.

1. Use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to see if the port is open in your router (it will say Success if it can reach it)
2. If your port is open in your router, now check for anything blocking that port on the PC.  Try disabling the Windows firewall temporarily and see if things work.
3. Try changing your Windows network from public to private: https://tinkertry.com/how-to-change-windows-10-network-type-from-public-to-private
