Cannot port forward Nighthawk M2

Hello,

 

I am trying to port forward my Nighthawk M2 modem to port 56992, but it doesn't seem to be taking effect, no matter what I do.

 

Please help me as I am out of ideas to try.

 

Attached is a screenshot of my port forward settings.

 

Thanks,

snek

    This is a mobile router.

     

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems

    Those things are very different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.

    You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    Check for various troubleshooting tips.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
