Port forwarding & UPnp

I’m wondering if anyone could help me with port forwarding for games consoles, I have the ports that need opening but I don’t have the WAN port numbers which the it needs and also which IP address to use

the errors on the console are

NAT Type: Strict 

Upnp unavailable 

 

UPNP is enabled on my router and I’m unable to use DMZ as it won’t accept the IPs I put in

im getting on average around 60mbps

ive tried all I can, my only other option would be starlink as I’m rural with no access to fibre

Usually most peeps use External Port = External Port. The IP is the  local IP addy of the device whose ports you want forwarding.

You're gonna have trouble port forwarding on the EE mobile network with its use of CGNAT.

Thanks for your quick reply!

what’s external port? Does this mean it’s unlikely to be resolved as it’s a 5G hub?

Sorry, typo!

Usually most peeps use External / Public / WAN Port = Internal / Private / LAN Port.

I’m connected via LAN to the 5G, is there anything more I can do?
