Port Forwarding Login Timeout
I have a new modem/router from Cox Communications. It is a Netgear model configured for Cox. I am trying to get my Security Camera DVR back online so I can view cameras on my iPhone app. Using Netgear Genie (V2.05.09) it was simple to set up the ports required by the DVR. I also gave the DVR a static IP address on my network. However I can not get into the open ports from my phone app or any online port check tool. The error is always "Error: I could not see your service on 68.4.208.43 on port (90) - Reason: Connection timed out" or "Login timeout". Cox Customer Support has confirmed that the ports I have chosen are not blocked by them. Multiple reboots of the modem and DVR have not helped. The DVR is up and running so there is a device ready to connect if a port is open.
Netgear will not help since the responsibility for service is on Cox. Cox Customer Support cannot explain or suggest a fix for the errors. I cannot find an answer on any of the "online communities". Perhaps someone has seen this problem before?

Support for these devices is limited to basic wifi connectivity when they are rented from us. While port forwarding questions are beyond our scope of support chapters 4 and 5 may be helpful in this manual:

Actually port forwarding is in chapter 8 of that manual. Specifically, see pg 121-122 and select Add Custom Service then see pg 123-124 for details. I don't have that gateway but the screens look almost identical on my Nighthawk R6700 router, I can't confirm it works on that device, port forwarding could be disabled by Cox in the firmware, but it does work on my router.
