Connected to what?

Says who? For outgoing connections (no action needed), or for
incoming connections (unlikely, port forwarding might be needed).
> [...] Told ip is private needs be public
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

Can the ip be changed in my router ?

tell you something, too.> Can the ip be changed in my router ?
Sure. _Which_ IP address would you like to change?
Please review this thread, and look for "?". Those are questions.
If you answer them, then perhaps we could make some progress. If you
can't/won't answer them, then I have better ways to waste my time.
