  1. Ummmm.....I don't think so. With most routers, you have to actually set specific ports to be open. Viruses and such search for these open ports. If you don't set them to be open, you are safe. I don't know about wireless routers, I don't use them. And why would I call my ISP? They don't give routers, only modems, either cable or DSL modems. Routers are purchased seperately. I think you are confused about what does what. I think you mean firewall, as that may have games and apps sharing settings. I have never seen this setting in a router (and I have used quite a few different routers). A router is basically a big switch directing traffic between computers ore between several computers and a modem.
