Not a very detailed description of any of those devices.

"told" by whom? Are you following some instructions which others
might be able to see?

Forwarding _all_ the ports 80 - 10554 is not a good plan. If a
port-forwarding on the C7000v2 lets you specify only Starting and Ending
ports (as the User Manual shows), then I'd specify three single-port
rules: 80:80, 8000:8000, and 10554:10554.

That would be the LAN IP address of your (unspecified) "the NVR".
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Set Up Port
Forwarding to a Local Server" and "Add a Custom Port Forwarding
Service".
Presumably, your (unspecified) "the NVR" is your "Local Server".
Pay attention to the suggestion: "See Reserve LAN IP Addresses on
page 66."

Yes, because you want the router to forward this stuff to the NVR,
not to itself.

I'd say "Any", unless there's exactly one fixed external/remote
address from which you intend to use this stuff.

Your (unspecified) "the NVR" is not "External", is it?

Not a useful description. How many billion addresses did you try?
If you didn't try all of them, then which ones did you try? (And
why?)
