I am using port forwarding and cannot connect outside the router.
I can connect inside the router.
What IP address do I use?
The one on the router (internet)
or the address from MyIPAddress.com
Or someother solution?
Time Warner not Spectrum is my provider

Still true. You still haven't revealed what your "my Cable Modem"
actually is.

If it works, then it works. If you want an opinion on any details,
then you might consider providing some useful information on what you
have, what you do, and what happens when you do it.

Actual port-forwarding rules? Copy+paste is your friend. What did
you do to ensure that the target Windows system always has the LAN IP
address which is specified in the appropriate port-forwarding rule?

What are those addresses? (If you're worried about revealing
secrets, then report at least the first two octets ("a.b" out of
"a.b.c.d") in each case.)
From the outside world, you should use your public IP address, which,
I'd guess is what you got "from MyIPAddress.com", and that should be the
address of the WAN/Internet port of the router where you've configured
port forwarding. If your router has a working "NAT loopback" feature,
then you should also be able to connect from within your LAN using the
WAN/Internet address of the router (and the external port number).

That sounds like a distinction without a difference, but a more
useful datum would be to what the WAN/Internet port of your WNR2000v4 is
connected. If there's another NAT router between your ISP and the
WNR2000v4, then that could explain many problems.

Re: WNR2000v4 Remote Desktop
I will try the MyIPAddress again and report back.
Thanks for your help.
And I meant to say Time Warner now Spectrun and not Time Warner not Spectrum.

Re: WNR2000v4 Remote Desktop
Looks like similar to scenario 2 in this KB. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
thats why the remote access is not working without bridging the modem.

Re: WNR2000v4 Remote Desktop
Yes, Time Warner said that they configure the cable modem like this (not bridge) for security reasons.
When I logged into the cable modem, the bridge option was not available to me.
Time Warner had to configure on their end. The unit was a Ubee DDW365.
The NetGear firewall in not effected by this correct?

Hi Occupa,
The NetGear firewall in not effected by this correct? Yes. The WNR2000v4 router will act as your router in your network.
The router detect the public IP address in bridgemode modem.
