Nighthawk Remote Access With AT&T Arris NVG589 Modem
Hello, I am trying to use the Remote Access feature on my Nighthawk Router. Currently with Remote Access enabled I get these two IP addresses from the nighthawk: 192.168.1.X: port number and 2602:...
Under remote access on the router, it gives the ip address and port 192.168.x.xx:xxxx.it's the lan address of my router.
On the modem under port forwarding, I have the lan address of my router and that port required for remote access. Also under remote access on the modem it gives a 75.xx.xx.xxx ip. When I try to remote access my router, the 192 address doesn't work, but the 75ip address does work. So I can remote access my router and my modem with the 75ip given by the modem, by using different ports.

While you may have gotten remote access to your router working, this is most likely a suboptimal setup overall because both your router and your modem are performing NAT. Read this article on why double NAT is bad idea. IP Passthrough avoids double NAT.
Anyway, if everything is working...
