4GEE modem doesn't work on either port forwarding or DMZ

I install CCTV and am used to setting up port forwarding for our clients.

 

I am trying to do this with an EE $G router at the moment and it just doesn't work.

 

Tried "support" chat and they were useless.

 

Anyone successfully done this?

You may find yourself up against a limitation of EE's mobile network. The EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) resulting in a double NAT, which xBoxes object to as well as you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses. This is unlike fixed BB.

 

If this occurs there is nowt you can do to avoid it.
