R7000 Port forwarding does not work

[jenkinjohnson]

Hello. I am trying to port forward for a server of mine but it seems that our ports are completely closed. I've tried connecting to a VPN, changing off a bunch of settings in my router configuration, updated the firmware of my router, and my ports are just always closed, and it seems like we just can't port forward. Really hoping for some kind of solution, or way to troubleshoot this

Firmware Version
V1.0.9.88_10.2.88

Thanks for the help, but I ended up calling my ISP and they put me onto a different IP that was static.

1. what modem/gateway are you connected to? 

2. your firmware is out of date. You might try updating (might not help if the issue is related to something else)
