    Seems like something changed on my ISP where they were giving me a private IP instead of public. 

     

    Solution

    Set DMZ and PF on modem to router, then PF from router to brume. 

     

    Thanks for all the help!

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 

 

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

 

Is uPnP enabled or disabled? It should be disabled if you have set up any PF configurations.

I have ran the power off sequence for everything and nothing changed. 

 

uPnP has always been on and never was an issue but also tried turning it off and still doesn't work with PF configs
