Worth a note: If your R6400 (or any other Netgear router) is operating in Access Point mode - not as a router - there can't be any port forwarding available.

R6400 or R6400v2? Look at the product label. Firmware version?
> [...] must be in the settings but I am unsure on where to look
If only there were some kind of "User Manual" for these devices...
But, wait!!!
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Port
Forwarding"?

Why?
Tell people what you really want to do and you might get better advice.

Re: R6400 port forwarding not available
Trying to open a port for our security system so I can remote view the cameras from mobile devices.
Im in NetGear Genie but the "port forwarding" is greyed out and not available in the ADVANCE settings
Im sure it is something simple but would appreciate any help! tyia

Which one? Desktop? Mobile?
Most stuff is best done with the browser graphical user interface.

Not a cloud based system then. That's why Arlo is so much easier to use, albeit at a price.
As @schumaku says, I assume that the R6400 is not in AP mode.

This proofs that you are digging at the wrong device - reads like your R6400 is operating in AP mode, not in router mode.
How does your R6400 connect to the Internet then - ISP, cable modem/router, ...?
