I am running AirPort Utility 6.0 and there is no advanced setup
any suggestions?

 

I dont see any "manual setup" thing. any help is really appreciated

 

This tutorial is outdated. What I'd do is download a free port forwarding software like port map.
I really wish I could do it manually though, so I hope apple brings back the advanced features.

Btw that's not my video
