Why go to one site? There are other sites, and they do return different
results. I don't know I could rely on just one site telling me anything.

If the router has a so called DMZ, then port forward the port to a dummy IP
in the DMZ so that you can pass the test. If it doesn't have a DMZ, then use
a PFW to just block the unsolicited packets that may come to the port on the
router and to the port on the pc.

However, if nothing is listening on the port, like a program which most
likely nothing is using that port, then it's kind worthless that you even do
anything about it.

OK, that's your first problem: This result is totally unreliable. Get a
serious online port scan like

RTFM and configure it accordingly

For obvious reasons. But one should wonder why you're playing with baby toys..

Firmware update? Return for a found? Letting someone else RTFM as well.
