Hey
If you are using both the Sky router and the Deco (in router mode) then you have what is known as a double NAT scenario and will therefore require two port forwards enabled.
Lets say you are looking to forward TCP on Port 12345 to a PS5 connected with IP Address 192.168.68.123
On the Sky router, enable port forwarding for TCP on Port 12345 to the Deco Router (not the PS5)
On the Deco Router, then forward port 12345 to the PS5
Basically you need to send it to the Deco first, then on to the PS5 or whatever you are after
Hope that helps!

@Philbert, Thank you for the response could you please explain in more detail as I am still unable to open the ports I would like ( 25564 - 25566).
I have tried forwarding the Sky router to the Deco then using the app to forward those ports to my server pc but failed to get anywhere

To be perfectly honest, i would really need more details from you. What is the service you are trying to forward and is it UDP / TCP or both? Im guessing its Minecraft given the ports? :)
If you can post screenshots of your sky and deco port forwards it would help greatly. Have you also configured the firewall on the Server PC to recieve the traffic on those ports? From what you say you have done it sounds like the forwards are in place, however without seeing your config i cant be sure of that.
Sadly i dont have a sky router here to work on so just doing this from a screenshot online. Go to SECURITY SERVICES and create a new service
Name it whatever you feel and type choose TCP and UDP (Both) unless you know specifically its one or other. Start port 25564 end 25566
Now go to security, firewall rules
Under Outbound Services, click ADD
Choose the service you created earlier as the source, set the LAN and WAN users as ANY..
Save
Go to Inbound Services. Choose the ADD button
Select the service you created earlier
ALLOW ALWAYS
Server to send to.. add 192.168.68.1 or whatever your Deco Master is (its usually that)
Save
That should be you done on the sky router.
Under Deco app go to MORE ADVANCED NAT FORWARDING PORT FORWARDING and click add rule
Service just leave as custom
internal ip add your server address
ports setup as needed
That should be you then.
Just make sure you server pc firewall isnt blocking
