What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Built in router here? If so, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
the new steps you said to do with dmz i had completed this part then went to wan section set it to opened then set geo to spectate and guess what.

so happy
p.s - though i make aware of how to fix, seeing they supposed to know and why been waiting 45 mins and now the sixth person in queue
That's great to hear! So it was a misreading then, you can switch it back to Filtering Mode now and if it says it again you know it is actually open. No need to get back to them, they will likely defer back to us (Netduma) if they're not sure on an answer.
