Netgear Nighthawk M1 cant port forward at all.
Cant port forward on the mobile router would I have to get a router to plug into it or is there a way to fix it on the nighthawk?

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Port
Forwarding".When I did that for a "MR1100 - Nighthawk M1 Mobile Router", I found
a section which describes how to do it. Is that User Manual wrong, or
is your model/firmware different, or what?"Can[']t" is not a useful problem description. It does not
say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As
usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results
(error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.Note: "cant" is a word, different from "can't".
My bad also didnt know there was a difference. I have read the user guide on how to port forward but my issue is that I put in the ports but it just doesnt work and my nat is always strict 3.

Regarding "doesn[']t work", see "Can[']t [...]", above.
What are you doing as a test? What, exactly, "doesn[']t work"?What, exactly did you "put in" where? What are your actual
port-forwarding rules? Copy+paste is your friend.> [...] showing actual actions [...] actual results [...]
Which part of "actual" was unclear?
What is the WAN/Internet address of your router? Is it a public
address? What is the LAN IP address of your server?Why are you doing this? What is the actual problem which you are
trying to solve?
