But should ANY ports be open unless I opened them ? Isn't it a bit suspect that, without it being documented for the customer either, especially network-y things like a web gui, remote web gui, and remote printing. Or are these standard for all routers or something ? Why is local scanning...

Did a scan for open ports using Fing app and giving my routers address. It reported the following, as seen in screenshot. I have no idea what any of these ports/ services are. Any ideas ? Also, none of the ports on my network that are "open"/forwarded from router to specific LAN devices were...

Seen other threads on this but no explanation that's worked for me. Is this just a bug in the firmware or something ? Do I need to enable external router admin IP address access for it to work ? Do I need to login to the router interface using "https://ddns.tumbao.asuscomm.com" for the...
