Port forwarding dont open ports
The correct model, is Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800.
I have a static IP adress, and my netbox is setup in bridge mode.
I have setup two port forwarding rules for port 88 and port 1088.
Even if i disable my firewall (Eset), i get this result from https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
Port 88 is closed on 212.37.152.80.
BTW - I have setup my firewall to accept acces on port 88/1088, but no firewall must be the ultimate check.
This is the main problem. I have tried to solve it over the last weeks, and one advice i got was to setup the static IP correct, so it uses the static ip instead of using the "Get Dynamically from ISP", but if i use the values from "Connection Status" , i get no internet connection.

What is your 'my netbox"?

Ok. What is listening at those ports on the system at
"192.168.1.15"? Web server? Something else?> [...] 212.37.x.y [...]
Is that the WAN/Internet address of the R7800?

Probably not a good idea. Your ISP probably knows what it wants
better than you do.

Correction - If i setup the static IP, it works, but painfully slow.

I have a fiber solution from a ISP, and the 'Netbox' is the place, where the fiber ends, and i have my connections.

Probably not a good idea. Your ISP probably knows what it wants
better than you do.The problem is the firewall - It works with the firewall set to 'Allow all', and thats solvable.
