Wireguard VPN needs manual port forwarding in router mode
Configuration: I have FW Gold (ver. 1.9751) as a router. It's the first device on my network from the Metronet fiber optic network modem. Behind it, I have a Netgear Orbi mesh network router with two satellites. However, that router is confirmed in the AP mode.
Problem: I'm trying to setup Wireguard VPN for future travel to Europe. I have issues when doing the setup. For Port Forwarding, it says "Need Manual Setup". Then, it shows me instructions for port forwarding. There is nothing in front of my FW to configure. I know Metronet doesn't assign a static IP. And, I'm not sure how to get over this hurdle. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to check if metronet is assigning you a public IP or not. To check https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360055686674-How-to-see-if-you-have-a-public-IP-address-
If you don't have a pubic IPv4, check and see if you have a IPv6, it may also work with 1.54
