R6700v3 port forwarding

I am trying to open up my NAT type on ps4 by port forwarding my ps4s static IP address that I created. I forwarded the ports then checked to see if it changed my NAT type on my ps4. It did not. I then enabled UpNp and activated DMZ for my ps4s IP address. Then I rebooted my router and checked my NAT type on the PlayStation. STILL NAT type 3! Is there something I’m missing? It should be type 2 by now!

       Firmware version?  Connected to what?  (Some other router?)

       Any one of those should be enough to do something.

       Seems likely.  For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:
