Port Forwarding Problems on Netgear Nighthawk R6700
I've been trying to forward ports on my Netgear R6700. V1.0.1.16_10.0.30 I have an Arris 6183 modem. After playing around for several hours last night I managed to get it to work, but I had t...
I managed to get the ports forwarded in the past few ago (finally). Thanks everyone for the assistance.
That was a small part of my question that was answered - but not the question involving the core issue - which is why the ports won't forward, and how to fix it so they do.

What device is between the router and the ISP network?
You're referring to the modem? Arris 6183

Yes. I wanted to confirm that it wasn't a gateway (which it isn't).
Also, does the router's internet IP address look like 100.x.x.x?
192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x are all private addresses (and you'd see one of those if you were using a gateway).
100.x.x.x isn't exactly private, but it is reserved for Carrier NAT, so it's not a public internet address either.
Where am I supposed to look to see this? I dialed into the Arris modem, but I don't see much listed for configurations.
Under Addresses Tab is says 6c:ca:08:70:58:7c and 10:da:43:8d:07:c4
