Re: Nighthawk Rax120 AX6000 plex port forwarding
Reads more like a different issue, unrelated to port forwarding. Have posted how to test the email notifications on ReadyNAS -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/RN104-OS695-unable-to-send-alert-message...

That's not true. Secured NAT only modifies a few things and will not expose your computers to the wild Internet. Secured NAT can interfere with things, though. Secured NAT is a "NETGEAR only" thing that advertises to "protect" you more at the expense of blocking too much, like blocking fully ICMPv6 in case of IPv6 (as an example). Same thing for IPv4
Try setting it to open and see if your problem goes away. If it doesn't, we'll look at other things. I have mine set to open since I bought my R7800 (more than a year ago) and have yet to encounter any wrongdoing from the Internet. It interferes with a few services I run, though, when set to secured

Readynas not sending alerts problem resolved after changing from BT Smart hub to RAX120 had not realised that needed to go itnto Network Settings on Readynas and change the IP address from the old router 192.168.1.254 and the DNS setting beneath to the AXR120 IP of 192.168.1.1

Re: Nighthawk Rax120 AX6000 plex port forwarding
Better approach than a static IP config would be using a DHCP client on the ReadyNAS, and create a MAC<->IPv4 reservation so the NAS would get the same address reliably. Funky details like default gateway, DNS servers, would propagate automatically.
The test I've suggested above would have unveiled this issue (DNS, default gateway, ...) in a few seconds.
