R6900v2 not port forwarding

Following instructions carefully but not working. My cams are set to be static. But have a couple still dynamic just as as a test. None port forward. I can see them on LAN fine  I used to have an older Linksys router on another ISP and had no problem with my cams port forwarding.

What could be blocking?

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    Be sure to disable uPnP if you set up any PF rules.

     

    Something to contact the mfr of these cameras about and see if they have information regarding there product...

      Returned unit for a refund. Even the Netgear tech couldn't figure it out. So I went back to my old ancient Linksys router. It worked with no problems. Slow as snot but I can at least view my home security cams from afar. I guess that's my best situation. So I'm over it now. Thanks.
