    Are you sure you're actually on V4?

    yes, i got ipv6 disabled couple of years back. i can see in the settings i have ipv4 only.
    also did a test online for ipv6. i dont have it

    in the port forwarding page on modem can see ports are already being forwarded. i just cant add a new rule.

    Mine only has port forwarding for the one I set up. Otherwise it’s blank. Must be a maximum number of ports allowed to be forwarded as rules. You are obviously not the only one in the house administrating the modem.
