what errors are you getting?
Its tough to help without info/photos/better descriptions of what you're putting in and attempting to do
trying to add this device , A = these are the numbers i put in . get error IP address not in lan . invalid server .I guess I dont know what they are asking for .
You're right. its not in your lan.
In your one photo, you're setting your port forwarding settings for 192.168.51.1
But the next photo is showing your router's lan range is in the .0 range (192.168.0.***)

It might be easier if you provided a few more details about that.
Explain the problem you want to fix rather than what you have been told might be the solution .
What is this wifi device and why does it need messing around with ports?
That is not a typical requirement.
You never know, someone may have turned up here before with the same challenge.
