R6700[v1], R6700v2, or R6700v3? Look for "Model" on the product

It's nice that you're happy, but your satisfaction has less value
than an accurate, detailed description of what you did.

"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 (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:

A simple modem. Should be harmless.
The router is R6700v3.
When I, or somebody not connected to my local network, tries to connect to my running server using my external IP address, I get the error “io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectionException: Connection timed out: no further information:”

this is my port forwarding setup
