Unable to RDP to a PC over the internet

$

I am trying to RDP to my PC over the internet however the connection is timing out because of no response from the remote device.

*gasp* Yes, I'm aware this is pretty stupid but this is only a short term thing, in the long term I'll get a VPN set up but I'm happy to accept the risks for now.

The router (Asus RT-AC58U) connects directly to the ONT while the PC I am trying to RDP to connected to one of the LAN ports on the router.

I have a Gigabit UFB connection with Skinny. To the best of my knowledge Skinny are no longer using CG NAT as the WAN IP of my router is the same IP I get when I enter what's my IP on Google from my PC.

I have configured Port Forwading/Destination PAT (WAN address:5555 --> 192.168.1.30:3389) as per below

I tested on various port forward checking websites and it's showing the connection as closed/filtered.

Troubleshooting done so far :

- When an RDP connection is made from an external device on the internet, in this case from a 2degrees 4G connection, from the connection logs I can see on the Asus router, it appears to be allowing the inbound TCP connection as per below

- Turned off Windows Firewall/Defender

- Tried using other external ports - 3389, 5150, 7777, etc

- Confirmed inbound RDP is enabled on the PC

- Confirmed port TCP 3389 on the PC is listening

- Ran a Wireshark capture on the PC when making a connection attempt; I do not see any inbound RDP traffic at all

From what I gather the inbound traffic is getting past the firewall but for some reason never arrives at the destination. I'd appreciate any advice to troubleshoot this further.
