Connected to what?

Says who? For outgoing connections (no action needed), or for
incoming connections (unlikely, port forwarding might be needed).

With my weak psychic powers, I can't see it from here. Point a web
browser at the management web site of your router, and report what you
find at: ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home : Internet Port : Internet IP Address.
Plug that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ , and see if
it is a public or private address.
The usual cause for that to be a private address would be connecting
the RBK753 router to some other router -- either a device on your
premises, or one at your (unspecified) ISP, if they use carrier-grade
NAT.
rbk is conected to a spectrum modem
I can view my camers home with a app on my phone (defender clear vu ) wifi but not away .
working with net gear tech we were able to open the ports needed told me possibly the ip adress 172. is private and not public a class B .
thanks any thoughts

Thanks for the details. So, if I plug "a spectrum modem" into my
search engine, I'll get all the information about _your_ modem?> [...] told me possibly the ip adress 172. is private and not public a

They told me the 172. Ip is one created by my net gear router it not there’s
Can the ip be changed in my router ?
