RS700 Port Forwarding Not Working
Please don't tell me I just spent $700 on a router so I can Beta Test Netgear hardware. None of the Port Forwarding entries are working. NONE Oh boy, not going to fly on that idea....

What version of FW is actually on the router?

Also I already have the latest Firmware when I installed the router it detected a new version after the initial setup. So that link does absolutely nothing for me.

Double check and make sure you're on the latest firmware. Port forwarding was always working for me, and as you can see with the linked thread, port forwarding worked for others after they updated to the firmware update that fixed it.

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

This is simply upgrading one of the two Netgear Nighthawk R9000's (Master Router) to a RS700. The modem is a Motorola Surfboard that has nothing to do with LAN. WAN is working just fine. Speeds are amazing. Accessing my home servers from remote locations is not working. Ports are not being forwarded (or not responding) to respective reserved IP's of different servers inside my home network.

Firmware Version V1.0.7.82_2.0.80 is the version installed. Server reboots has occurred since the upgrade.
