How to change a routers external IP address
So the issue is I have multiple routers in one home network and I am trying to remotley access a server through port forwarding. The issue is that whenever I lookup my External IP address to log into the server remotely it sends me to the wrong router which is not the one port forwarding my server. Is thier anyway to change the router with the server connected to it to a different External IP address without affecting the other router?

Never begin a discussion with "so"; like "therefore", it requires an
antecedent.

Why? That's probably your primary mistake. Cascading multiple
routers can cause multiple problems, including ones like yours. Are all
these routers model R6900?
Unless you have some very good reason to use multiple
routers/subnets, the likely solution is to configure one router as your
main/only router, and the others as wireless access points. This should
put all your devices on one big (extended) LAN, with all the port
forwarding done by the main router.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Use the Router as a
WiFi Access Point" (assuming that it's an R6900).
