Or you have to turn on remote management for the router and connect to it
first via a web browser and make sure the port forward is pointed to the
correct IP (attached device) on the router...

Truthfully - depending on the router/settings - unless your machine is off
for 12+ hours (sometimes more for home routers, sometimes less) you will
more than likely keep the same internal IP. If you only have one PC
connecting to your router - you will likely get the same IP every time.
