Okay, I'll be the first to admit that this may be an instance of me not being clever enough to use the Search box on this forum. I've tried for a week now and not finding what I need. 
And Google is sending me down multiple rabbit holes.
I have an AT&T ARRIS BGW210 gateway (1 Gig FTTP) to which I've attached my ASUS RT-AC88U AiMesh router. I'd like to enable a public facing Windows Server 2019 via port 80 for a web server. I've tried a number of configurations but can't get port forwarding to work to the Win2019 server. The ARRIS BGW210 doesn't allow a true bridged mode as it keeps its own NAT table.
Current failed configuration:
ARRIS BGW210:
Broadband address: 75.xx.xxx.2
Gateway address: 75.xx.xxx.1
IPv4 address: 192.168.2.254
DHCP: 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.4
IPv6 = off
WiFi radios = off
Packet Filter = off
Advanced firewall = off
IP Passthrough = on, manual, MAC address of AC88U router
ASUS RT-AC88U router:
WAN address: 75.xx.xxx.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway address: 75.xx.xxx.1
LAN: 192.168.1.1
DHCP: 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.254
QoS = off
AiProtection = off
IPv6 = off
Port forwarding :80 to 192.168.1.104
Windows Server 2019:
Static IP = 192.168.1.104
Wampserver enabled
netstat -a = listening on port 80
The web page displays fine for localhost but times out for external access. External port scanners like https://canyouseeme.org/ and https://www.whatismyip.com/port-scanner/ say ALL of my ports are closed; not just port 80. I tried adding port forwarding in the BGW210 gateway via the NAT/Gaming function, but no joy. Any suggestions?
TIA,
Jay
