I'm really new to all this so I'm sorry if this is too little information.
Log into your router. Click on the Advanced tab and look at IP Address listed under Internet Port. Reply with the first half of the address.
As to checking port forwarding, there needs to be a service running on the port you opened. What service are you trying to run?

Hi GregerN,
My apologies but I cannot open the link. Please check the link below and follow the steps.

Here are the pics in the links
Do you have a service running on 192.168.1.19 that is listening to port 1604?
Does your R7800 have a public IP address (i.e. 95.143.x.x) on its Internet/WAN port?
P.S. For privacy, you shouldn't share your public IP address. It's visible in one of your pictures.
