Portforward (router + unknown device modem?? or)

Question

Hello :)So i've just moved house, and I want to portforward. I tried portforwarding at my default gateway (192.168.1.1 - R6250 router)But when I go to canyouseeme.org it shows that the port is closed, even though ive got the correct local ip adress and port set.. I also have my listener, so maybe its because my internet has modem and router?In the portforward ive set the correct local ipv4 adress, and the port aswell as tcp/udp. But it keep echoes "connection timed out..".Anyone who can help me through this?&nbsp;In case of interest;Im trying to open a port on my VMWare virtual machine, which has connection bridged. It uses my &nbsp;Ethernet cable from my main system, and gives the machine a local ip adress simular to the main os. You know what i mean.. EX; 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.15&nbsp;Check the pictures for the router setup&nbsp;&nbsp;

&gt; [...] maybe its because my internet has modem and router?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That'd be my diagnosis.&nbsp; ADVANCED &gt; ADVANCED Home : Internet Port :Internet IP Address shows a private address, not your public address.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Are you offering any better hints as to what that equipment might be?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most likely, you should be using one router, not two.&nbsp; Typicalone-router schemes involve either a modem-only and a router, or else amodem+router and a wireless access point.&nbsp; Which would you prefer?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Possibly interesting (the usual problems with port forwarding):&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1859106&nbsp;&nbsp; Your problem appears to be "1" (at least).

I live in a home with couple of floors"Internet port" has a options in the gateway to portforward aswell as the r6260 netgearBut i don't know what its used for tbh( the internet port gateway)Im used to just login to 192.168.1.1 and portforward - and boom it works.&nbsp;it says that the "internet port" in advanced home is the ethernet router.. and i have ethernet into my pc not wifiBut I dont know what to do, to make my portforward work. I tried portforward in the "internet port" gateway - but its say something like "IP address of port forwarding rule 1 is not within IP range of any bridge in route"And when i portforward in the default gateway 192.168.1.1 it says connection timed out when i check if the port is open&nbsp;

&gt; I live in a home with couple of floors&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This tells me what, exactly?&nbsp;&gt; "Internet port" has a options in the gateway to portforward aswell as&gt; the r6260 netgear&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Are you trying to say that your "home" has some sort of (unspecified)"the gateway", and that you're connecting your R6250 to that "thegateway"?&nbsp; "gateway" normally means "modem+router".&nbsp; That would make tworouters.&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most likely, you should be using one router, not two. [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Still true.&nbsp;&gt; Im used to just login to 192.168.1.1 and portforward - and boom it&gt; works.&nbsp;&nbsp; That's fine when your router is the only router.&nbsp;&gt; it says that the "internet port" in advanced home is the ethernet&gt; router..&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It's an address on the LAN subnet of that "the gateway".&nbsp; I saw that.&nbsp;&gt; [...] i have ethernet into my pc not wifi&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Doesn't matter.&nbsp; A network connection is a network connection.&nbsp;&gt; But I dont know what to do, to make my portforward work. [...]&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most likely, you should be using one router, not two. [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Still true.&nbsp;&gt; [...] Typical one-router schemes involve either a modem-only and a&gt; router, [...]&nbsp;&nbsp; I assume that other people are using that "the gateway" as theirrouter, so that scheme is not an option.&nbsp;&gt; [...] or else a modem+router and a wireless access point. [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That would be the one remaining option.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and lookfor Documentation.&nbsp; Get the User Manual (at least).&nbsp; Read.&nbsp; Look for"Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point Only".&nbsp;&gt; [...] I tried portforward in the "internet port" gateway [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I can't see what you "tried".&nbsp; There were numbers in it, right?&nbsp;&gt; [...] - but its say something like "IP address of port forwarding rule&gt; 1 is not within IP range of any bridge in route"&nbsp;&nbsp; Because it can do port-forwarding only to an IP address on its ownLAN.&nbsp; If you configure your R6250 as a WAP, then all your devices willbe on the LAN of that 'the "internet port" gateway', so that complaintshould disappear.&nbsp;&gt; And when i portforward in the default gateway 192.168.1.1 it says&gt; connection timed out when i check if the port is open&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Same problem, same solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Note, however, that with the R6250-as-WAP, you will be sharing theLAN with other users of that 'the "internet port" gateway'.&nbsp; It's not asprivate as having your own router.

When I enabled WAP(Wireless acces point) in the r6260 it says something like "Bridge 1 dhcpd host 1 IP address is not in the same network as dhcpd address" in the "internet port gateway" when i try to portforward. I don't know if it did that before i enabled WAP.. I tried to disable the WAP, but it still says that.&nbsp;
