Must have been something to do with my router. I don't have physical access to it

Although there are ways, how did you port forward without accessing and configuring the router?

I can access it through 192.168.1.1. Now that I think about it I guess I could have reset it through there too. lmao.

That's your router's LAN default gateway IP address and once accessed, you have control of configurations on your Internal/local network. You certainly could've reset It through It's Interface.

The main thing Is, It's all up and running now.
