Says who? For outgoing connections (no action needed), or for incoming connections (unlikely, port forwarding might be needed).

With my weak psychic powers, I can't see it from here. Point a web browser at the management web site of your router, and report what you find at: ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home : Internet Port : Internet IP Address. Plug that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ , and see if it is a public or private address.
The usual cause for that to be a private address would be connecting the RBK753 router to some other router -- either a device on your premises, or one at your (unspecified) ISP, if they use carrier-grade NAT.

Ok. And if I could see what it actually is, then perhaps I could tell you something, too.
> Can the ip be changed in my router ?
Sure. _Which_ IP address would you like to change?
Please review this thread, and look for "?". Those are questions. If you answer them, then perhaps we could make some progress. If you can't/won't answer them, then I have better ways to waste my time.
Thank you I appreciate your time When I go on my pc connected to my network What’s my ip it’s a 172. Ip When I go to can you see me per that ip it shows ports 80 5000 9000 18004 not open ? I need to be able to view my security cameras remotely. My phone app uses my ip to log in remotely and I can’t ? Until I got the net gear router I was able to ? Was told by net gear that the 172. Ip is private but it’s there generated ip according to my isp Net gear did open all ports and I can view home WiFi but again not remotely Thanks very
Apparently not, or you might stop wasting it, and answer the questions. For example:
> > Plug that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ , and see if > > it is a public or private address.
> What's my ip it's a 172. Ip
> From "172.", I can't tell.
Still true.
> Was told by net gear that the 172. Ip is private but it's there > generated ip according to my isp
You might find this hard to believe, but I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN THAT IP ADDRESS.
If you're worried about revealing secrets, then the top half of the address, "a.b" out of "a.b.c.d", would satisfy most of my curiosity. Or, plug that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ , and see if it is a public or private address. (Again.)
If the RBK53 (WAN/Internet interface) has a private address, then port forwarding will not help you with a connection to the outside world.

Still a mystery.
In my experience, people who talk about ports being "open" or "closed" often don't understand the problem.
I still know nothing about your (unspecified) "my defender security system", or why it might need port forwarding for proper operation.
I still know nothing about to what your RBK53 is connected. "a spectrum modem" is not a useful description of anything.
