RBR50 Ports won't open

Hello! I'm attempting to forward some ports for the occasional hosting of nodejs/game servers.

I have assigned my local PC the internal IP address of 10.0.0.150 and have forwarded ports to that same address.

The ports that I have thus far tried: 20-21, 25565, 2000, 7777

I have Windows Firewall disabled on my PC. I have set the router's NAT type to Open. I am able to successfully ping my WAN address, but cannot successfully see any ports opening.

 

My router's current firmware version is V2.5.1.8.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the information.  If this is the product:

https://www.ui.com/ufiber/ufiber-nano-g/ 

 

Then, the solution is to place the Nano-g into "bridge" mode and remove the airCube, so the Orbi will be the sole WiFi network.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

@FURRYe38is asking for the specific model of ISP device the Orbi is connected to because this sounds very much like a "Double NAT" situation: https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT 

If this is the case, then the ISP device is blocking connections from reaching the Orbi.

The ISP's modem appears to be (I'm unable to remove it and check with ease) a Ubiquiti UFiber Nano-G attached to a Ubiquiti airCube. Hopefully that helps, if the models are absolutely necessary I can remove them, but this would take a while.

Had to call my ISP to enable bridge mode, now I'm able to successfully port forward! Thanks ^^
