Port Forwarding not working-port 80

Port forwarding is not working.on my RBK50 router. I am trying to open port 80 to enable access to an IP camera. I have followed the instructions in the manual however and have been unsuccessful in resolving the port fowarding issue. Port forwarding was working successfully with my previous ASUS router.  Based on my review of the community, this appears to be a common issue with the RBK50 router. Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    What FW is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

     

    Try using a different port. Port 80 is a internet services port. Cameras should be using a different port all togther. 

    When setting up any PF configurations, ensure uPnP is disabled.
