Port forwarding does not work when I am on wifi network

I have a Netgear C6300 modem/router. I setup port forwarding for my IP Cameras. It works fine when I view the cameras outside of my network connection on my iphone. However, when I am home on the wifi, I cannot see the cameras.

 

It seems like it is not allowing me to get to that outside IP address and port when I am on my network. 

 

Any ideas?

    Hello Stringzz 

     

    Have you tried to use the 192.168.x.xxx address for the cameras when you are on the same network when trying to access them? I dont believe it will allow you to use the external Ip address to connect to them when you are at home and on the same network as the cameras. Hope to hear your feedback
