Model: Archer AX1800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20230725 Rel. 55602(5553)

I want to block traffic to port 53 and port 80 from the internet. I see no option to set this from the router. The firewall page is also just 3 toggles and I can't find where to set rules.

By default all ports on the router are blocked for incomming traffic from the internet.

In order to allow such traffic you have to specifically open a port or a port range by configuring port-forwarding (virtual server), enabling DMZ or UPnP on your router.

@terziyski Oh yeah, I messed up. I ran a port scan but I did it from within my network. Which is why it was reported as open. Thanks
