R7000 Port Forwarding Not Working

Hi! I'm having some issues with setting up port forwarding on my Nighthawk R7000 router and would like some help. I have the ports set up correctly, as explained in several guides, but all websites are saying that the ports aren't accessible and none of my programs running on the ports can be connected to. What should I do?

  • That shouldn't be necessary unless you happened to have changed your router's MAC address. Apart from that, your ISP should put something in their system that ensures that you get a public IP.

        I'm not sure how to find that out, this is what I'm seeing under WAN Setup.
