port forwarding with an internet phone

ive been trying to port forward to setup some game servers but ran into a problem when i might have three seprate routers.

 

using a check multiple routers tool i downloaded i discovered i have two regular routers, a netgear(192.168.1.3) and an xfinity(10.0.0.1). but checking on the connected devices for the xfinity router showed one device being my internet based phone(10.0.0.2) which has its own port forwarding page.

 

it anyone could lend a hand on this it would be much appreceited as i dont even know where to begin with this.

  • let me add some screen caps to make this a bit more clear

    detect router

    this is the two supposed routers on my network

    the being a netgear router and the second being an xfinity/comcast one

    xfin

    the xfinity router also shows another device connected, connecting to it shows this

    oma

    this is also somehow the domain server for the netgear router

    internetomla

    i should also point out the xfinity routers port forward page has the servers ip mostly grayed out

    ip

      Hello Gamedroid

       

      You should only have 1 router handling the DHCP so you will either need to bridge the modem or turn the other routers into access points so then you will be able to port forward your devices.
