Double Router Forwarding
https://portforward.com/help/doublerouterportforwarding.htm
I have One internet connection set up with two routers for separate networks.
Internet is plugged into WAN on Router 1. Router 1 IP is 192.168.1.1
Router 2 - LAN port on Router 1 to WAN port on Router 2, IP is 192.168.2.1
Router 1 - DHCP Set to 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.249 (This is default for router)
Router 2 DHCP Set to 192.168.2.100 - 192.168.2.149
I need to forward ports 8080, 51423, 8096, 9091, 4040 on router 2.
So if I forward Router 1 (192.168.1.1) to router 2 (192.168.2.1) what port number(s) would I forward? In the above link it just says forward ports from Router 1 to Router 2 but it only mentions IP addresses not a port number.
Do I need to forward each port I need open on router 1 to router 2?
Example:
App Name "My App" | Ext port "8080" | Internal Port "8080" | Protocol "Type.for.AppUDPTCPBOTH?" | Device IP "192.168.2.1" (Router 2)
Or should I use DMZ? If DMZ:
1.which router do I set it on Router 1 or Router 2?
2. Source IP range (Router 1 IP address? 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.1?)
3. Destination IP address (Router 2 address? 192.168.2.1?
I tried to set DMZ on Router 2 as described above but it says "unexpected
error" (Everything I read about using DMZ set to set it on router 2)
I could probably figure this out by myself with some more research and some trial & error but I have limited access to router 1. So anything I need to change on router 1, I need to be able to get it right on the first try. As router 1 is my landlords and I don't have his password but he will input it for me and let me change what I need to, to get my stuff set up and running the way I need.
Thanks any help would be much appreciated.

You have four choices:
- For every port that you want to forward from router 2 to its LAN, forward that port on router 1 from the WAN to router 2.
- Put router 2 in router 1's DMZ.
- Don't set up your routers to create two separate LANs.
- Configure both LANs on the same router using a dual-LAN router.

Item 1. In router 1, I set each port I need to forward to router 2 IP address or to IP address of the system I need the port forwarded for? (I'm using FreeNas with Jails so each Jail as its own IP address) Item 2. In router 1 under DMZ which IP address do I set as source and which IP address do I set as Destination. (Router 1 Source and Router 2 Destination) Thank you for the quick response.

I will need to check when I have access to router 1. I have no way of checking at the moment. IP config /all and PFconfig only show me Router 1 IP address, Public IP Address, Router 2 IP Address & LAN IP Addresses from Router 2. I'm not sure how I can see LAN IP addresses from Router 1 without Access to Router 1. I'm sure I could plug Ethernet from Router 1 directly into my PC and get IP Addresses from Router 1 but I'm not sure it would assign the same IP address it assigned to router 2. Thank you for all your information I should be able to get it done from everything you described.
