If you're connecting through a router, and you don't have a port for your torrent program forwarded, then that is most likely your problem. I'm not familiar with the ZTE AC8700 router, but Portforward.com has guides for many individual routers on how to forward ports. Check out the link below and see if your router is in the list. If not, maybe one of the other ZTE routers will be close enough for you to figure it out on your particular model.
