Well based on that response, things are bit more complicated w/ your setup than I originally thought.

If you're using a combination modem+router from your ISP, and it's NOT in bridge mode (and if you don't know what that means, then it's likely NOT in bridge mode), then *that* device is receiving the public IP on its WAN. And your router (RT-AC1300) is probably connected over its WAN port to a LAN port on the ISP's device. This presents several problems.

It's highly likely that 10.0.0.187...

First thing I would do is go to http://ipchicken.com and verify that the public IP reported by that website matches the IP assigned by your ISP to the WAN on your router. Because if it doesn't, then your router is NOT directly on the internet, but instead behind another router managed by your ISP. And if that's the case, you can't port forward to it. They must be the same in order to port forward!

I went to IP chicken and my IP was example : 85.92.23.115 while my router's IP is 192.168.1.1 and the router within my Xfinity Modem is
10.0.0.187 does that mean what you are saying about it being managed or am I looking at the wrong IP?

And your router (RT-AC1300) is probably connected over its WAN port to a LAN port on the ISP's device. This presents several problems.

It's highly likely that 10.0.0.187 and 192.168.1.1 are NOT the WAN ip of each router, but the LAN ip. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the WAN ip, the port that connects the Xfinity's to the ISP, and the port that connects the RT-AC1300 to the Xfinity. In this particular case, I'm more interested in the WAN ip assigned to the Xfinity, since it is the device directly connected to the internet. It's the **WAN** ip on that device that has to match the reported public IP from ipchicken.com.

So again, you need to understand that I'm not talking about the local LAN ip assigned to each device. It's the WAN ip that I care about. Somewhere in each of the GUI's for those devices it should say what the WAN ip is, perhaps within an overview page, perhaps it says WAN configuration, perhaps a status page, but somewhere, it should report the WAN ip.

I was able to find it and I was successfully able to port forward and run the server thanks for your help. It turns out I had DMZ disabled
