Set a default DMZ server to forward all unsolicited incoming traffic to one computer.
Procedure:
- Connect to the Orbi network. Launch a browser to orbilogin.com and log in.
- Navigate to ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
- Select the Default DMZ Server checkbox.
- In the IP Address field, type the static local IP address of the computer or console you are using for gaming (e.g., 192.168.1.25).
- Click the Apply button.
If that didn't work, ensure the gaming device has a reserved IP address. Go to ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup, click the Add button under "Address Reservation," and reserve an IP for that device's MAC address.
Heads up: A DMZ server loses most firewall protections. Only use this for a trusted device, and disable it when not gaming.
