Ports to be opened on firewall?

Hi,

 

I'm planning to hook my Orbi and ethernet backhaul to my Fortigate firewall which sits behind my cable modem.

Mode is set to bridge mode, without firewall, so no limits there.

 

I tried to find out which ports I should open on my firewall (both outgoing and incoming) so I can use the remote management functionality / app.

 

As far as I can see, no description is available in a document on the internet, so hopefully someone else can assist.

 

Regards,

 

Erwin

Re: Ports to be opened on firewall?

If you have a firewall in place before the orbi system, you may want to configure the Orbi for AP mode and not router mode. Not sure what ports are used by the app though...You might ask one of the forum moderators and see.
