Port forwarding not work
I have been trying for 2 days to figure out why my port forwarding isn't working. I've port forwarded many times before on previous routers but this one will not comply, unless I'm overlooking something.
I'm trying to forward ports for a Mordhau dedicated server and, with the dedicated server running (which is working fine because I can connect to it on the same machine), I test the ports on yougetsignal.com and it says the ports are closed. I've confirmed with the server log that it's running on the same external IP as yougetsignal is picking up and on port 7777 but still not response. I've reserved my local IP address in the router and confirmed that it's the correct address via Windows CMD ipconfig.
Am I missing something here? Would appreciate any help.
Below are screenshots of my settings and local IP.

Re: Port forwarding not work
I have a Netgear CM1200 modem with my XR500 connected directly to it. I'm not sure what an ISP hub is but the internet comes directly from the street into my own modem. I also don't know what DMZ is so I haven't touched any settings pertaining to it.
The ports I need to forward are 7777, 27015 (UDP) and 15000, according to this post. I forwarded all of them using TCP and UDP just to be safe.

Re: Port forwarding not work
Ok I set my "Default DMZ Server" to my PC then checked the ports with the open port checker tool and it reports they're still closed. Is that what you meant for me to do?

Re: Port forwarding not work
Before start running wild - check the Netgear router Internet/WAN IP address as seen on the router Web UI assigned by the ISP with the Google what is my IP address result. If this is not the same, CGN is in place. Almost all port forwarding issues are related to the lack of public IPv4 addresses and the usage of carrier grade NAT (CGN) by the ISPs.

Re: Port forwarding not work
According to DumaOS my WAN IP is identical to the one that Google reports.

Re: Port forwarding not work
Ok I think I've determined it's actually an issue with the Mordhau Dedicated Server software. When I run a Minecraft server on 25565 the port is reported as open on the port check tool, but when I run the Mordhau server neither 7777 nor 15000 report as open despite the fact that the server log reads "GamePort: 7777, BeaconPort: 15000". Not sure what to do from here but at least it's not a router issue.
Thanks for the assistance anyway!
