Port Forwarding not working on NETGEAR R6080

I have a NETGEAR R6080 with NETGEAR GENIE V1.0.0.34 and the port forwarding isn't working and I believe it has to do with the internal and external port ranges because I have no idea want to put in the boxes please help

  • Well I’m sorry if I lacked information but I don’t know much about the matter and I’m not scamming according to your reply but good thing I solved it myself without your help since NETGEAR community support isn’t good as I concluded so goodbye

         "not working" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say
      what you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
      showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED
      indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
      interpretations.

         Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?  What,
      exactly, were you hoping would happen when you did whatever you did?

         If you don't know which port(s) you want forwarded to where, then
      it's not really amazing (to me) that, seemimgly, "port forwarding isn't
      working".

      > [...] please help

         You first?  What, exactly, are you trying to achieve?

         Probably not the best advice.
