    I can't see the images you've attached as they're not yet moderated I'm afraid.

     

    What's the exact make and model of your ISP router/modem?

     

    What I would suggest doing would be to remove your port forwarding rules, then put the XRs WAN IP in the ISP router/modem's DMZ. Then, make sure that IP is reserved for the XR in the ISP router/modem's LAN settings, this will ensure it doesn't change again in future.

     

    After that, your NAT should be open.
