I'm having port forwarding the port 25565, I have a AC1900 Night Hawk router. I will admit, I'm not too good on networking but I understand some basics. I've port forwarded with my old router before but it was a modem-router combo thing. Now I have a modem and my AC1900 that is connected to it. I've tried several things and nothing works. I've attached some pictures to show my router/modem setup and that it says I've port forwarded on the router.

Agreed that router + bridge/access point is much simpler then router + router.
Configuring second router as bridge/access point eliminates double NAT and allows everything to act as one big network.

Otherwise you have to configure router 1 to forward to IP router 2, and then router 2 to forward to IP of machine, and all devices have to have static IPs for this to even work reliably.

Also, is your modem a modem only or a modem router. If the modem has more then 1 ethernet port on it (or lights for wifi) then it is a modem/router which means you now have 3 routers and thus 3 NAT layers to forward through.

You need to port forward the exact same ports from your router 1 to router 2 using the second routers WAN port.
So do the same thing you did to forward those ports on router 2, but now on router 1 and use the IP that the router 1 assigns router 2. Also, make sure this ip is static or you'll have problems when the leases expire.

Thanks for the reply. Okay, I've port forwarded on Router #2 already but when I try to type in the internal ip for Router #1 it says server cannot be reached. And yes, I have a static IP. Btw I didn't mean to down your reply, I'm kinda new to this site so I was curious what it did lol.

Two routers, two acting as router with NAT/DHCP enabled? usually not something that should be used.

You should configure router 2 to act just as a bridge and disable DHCP (meaning router 1 gives everyone their IP's and makes your network be just 192.168.44.XXX)

Then you do the port forwarding on router 1 to point at your computer (should now be 192.168.44.something)
You might have to use lan cable to connect to the router you want to configure, if wlan doesn't let you connect to it.

That is of course just my opinion and can be safely ignored.
