For me, my WAN IP is not equal to Public IP which is Dual NAT.

That by itself is not dual NAT, there would be one layer of NAT on the ISP side in this case. The second layer of NAT is introduced by you on the customer side and that is not mandatory, you could connect a single device without the second layer of NAT on your side.

The issue with port-forwards happen when the NAT is on the ISP side which you don't control, do note that this is just NAT not dual NAT.

@varkey I tell you the situation.

JioFi Dongles have in-built Port-Forwarding Settings (You can enter the port and everything).

But the problem is that, Jio's WAN IP is not equals to the Public IP of the Jio.

WAN IP is something like 10.xx.xxx.xx

But, Public IP is 40.xx.xx.xxx

You get the idea?

It's the as same as Excitel does.

So, whatever I'm port-forwarding. I am not able to excess it on 40.xx.xx.xx:port
 
Okay. Now I understand you. So you were fixing my knowledge. Okay, Time to help me? :p Throw some knowledge @varkey
 
Well, the answer is simple, if you absolutely need to access some service or do whatever your use case is from your home network, over the public internet, then you need to pay for a internet service which provides those facilities. Opt for a static public IP address from your provider.
 
I have done extensive tests and i am unable to use Jio so called public IP to distribute public IP to various computers in spite of having /64 submask in Jio m2s router. JMR 815 has /128 submask.
Only this is possible is to use the dongle of JIO which connects 10 devices. But i have strong feeling that they are not real ipv6 addresses as you cannot ping from outside.

The port forwarding is basically not possible. It seems they have this option but not efficiently working. Only I can see it useful in case of upnp based devices.

What they do is in ipv4 they officially give internal IP (10.x.x.x) and in IPV6 they give 2405:20x:x:x:X. but ipv6 seems to be an internal IP created by IPV4 as there is no proper gateway to outside world. You may reach IPV6 dns but not further.
They have dns as 49.45.0.1 & 2405:200:800::1 for ip4 & ip6 respectively.
 
In general the latest device is recommended
Speed wise all are same
Features wise you may find improvement
Like m2s has very primitive layout and port forwarding features and later devices are improved versions
