AC1200 R6120 Port Forwarding issue

As title states, my new AC1200 R6120 isn't forwarding my ports I wanted to. They show up in the list but aren't actually being forwarded according the software I'm trying to use and canyouseeme.org. I have it set to the IP address for my computer, the port I'm trying to use is 2050(no conflicts afaik). I tried using DMZ, setting NAT filtering to open, using a static IP, and disabling/enabling UPnP. I've tried a few different ports in the 2040-2050 range (as well as trying to forward all of them), and none of them would appear forwarded. I added an exception into windows firewall for the ports, but that didn't fix it either. 

 

Any ideas

  • Fixed, I didn't properly disable the router in my router/modem combo.
