c7000 modem opening ports for tmobile cellspot UDP123, 500, 4500
I found this community very helpful and did many steps, but still not working.
Problem: LAN wired the Tmobile cellspot and early step asks to ensure ports UDP 123, 500 and 4500 are opened. Doesn't go beyond that.
Following various chats:
1) I can see the mac address under basic tab>attached devices>wired devices so I know the cable connection is good
2) Following instructions on pg 67 I reserved or created a LAN IP address. under advanced>setup>lan setup. it randomly assigned 14 so I just forced it 114. fairly certain I did this correct since the new 114 ip address now shows up in the attached devices.
3) following instructions on page 98 I did port forwarding for the new address. I tried the range, but was giving me issues with UDP123. so I wound up doing each one individually. advanced>advanced setup>port forward/port trigger
4) confirmed UPnP is on
At this point frustrated since I "think" I did everything okay. I've rebooted both modem and cellspot and still hangs up early with the same code. the only thing I was guessing was when I added the port forwarding I chose FTP from the pulldown. had other options.
next steps?

Two quick updates. The personal Tmobile cellspot is Alcatel-Lucent 9961 Homecell VI
and I tried under advanced>setup>WANT setting up a DMZ for my defined cellspot ISP. Still don't have the ports open. what am i missing?
