using apple Remote Desktop with orbi and satellites
hi thre, can anybody tell me how I enable apple remote desktop on an orbi ? I see in my remote desktop window (apple software) that for screen sharing port 5900 is greyed out, and remote management 3283 is greyed out. Both macs are running latest Mojave, different networks. Can anybody talk me through the steps to enable this so it works? Im not really familiar with port forwarding so as much detail as possible would be really helpful thanks.
