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?
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?
the tests was a minecraft server and opening ports to fix the nat problem. what doesnt work is that no one can join my games or i cant join them and the nat is 3. what i put in for a minecraft server was
Rule name: M
IP Address:192.168.1.27
Port:25565
Protocol:TCP
i have no clue what WAN/internet address is for the router.
why im doing this is because any game i play i have a nat type of 3 so i cant join anyone on most games or start my own servers.
