Port Forwarding BO6 on PC

[Spazz]

Im thinking it MAY be the servers but for some reason, my port forwarding just will not give an open NAT with BO6. I can literally go to MW3 and have them open with the same ports but no dice in BO6. I've done pretty much everything (reboot, unplug, disable and reenable, turning off geofilter, etc) besides factory reset which is hard since my wife WFH and my kids are always doing SOMETHING that requires internet. Im not behind a CGNAT. Spectrum ISP. Netgear CM1000 modem. My son's console is in the DMZ.

Take your sons console out of the DMZ then check again please

When you place a device in the DMZ, only that device can have its ports forwarded. It's not too bad for a console as it's safe unlike a PC, but for a PC if you want to be safe you have to delete it from the DMZ and then add all of the ports manually to the forwarding section, which can be quite long.

I think what can be happening is that the console is active and so, since you're using two rules that shouldn't be working together, there being overruled by the console as it's the priority.

Ahhh didnt know that. Port forwarding and Upnp cant be used together either, right? There are too many overlapping ports to be able to PF my PC and his console since we play the same games.

@SpazzTechnically you can use them both, but every time the console is on because you've set it on the DMZ it will be prioritized. Because of this, they overlap. From what I am aware, other routers do not even allow you to use both rules simultaneously because of that specific reason.

I took his console out of the DMZ and port forwarding still wasn't working. I factory reset last night. I'll PF again when I get off and report back this evening.
