When you go to your router page it's usually under the "Advanced" settings, sometimes under a subsection called "Port Forwarding". Some routers give you the option to only do UDP or TCP, some give the option to do both.
If you still can't find it you can download Simple Port Forwarding
here and just select your router model and put in your username/password, then input the port you want to forward and it'll do it automatically.
Additionally, to check if your ports are actually open, you can check
here
If you open port 3306 on your firewall and router and it still doesn't work, most likely your database permissions are wrong. Try running the command below, where "username" is the username you want and "password" is the password you want
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
