In general it won't matter.

First it depends on what you mean "mobile". If it mean that it run on the cell network then you will not likely be getting public IP addresses. If you are connecting to some private network like a hotel then you also will not get a public IP.

Almost all the feature feature you have turned on are trying to solve issues that you have because your router is running NAT. BUT none of this matters if you do not have a public IP to begin with. SIP for example is used for issue you have with voice over IP calls.
A lot of the feature are window dressing that really do nothing for anyone. Nobody uses stuff like IPSEC for vpn. RTPS and SIP are also not used since modern version are encrypted and features like these on a router even if they exist can not work on encrypted traffic.

By default your internal devices are protected without any kind of firewall because of the NAT. In addition when you do not have a public IP you have another layer of protection in router before yours that also runs NAT.

Most firewalls in consumer routers are purely there for marketing gimmicks. They sound complex and cool but actually do nothing in most cases. Most times they do not hurt to have on but in some cases they can affect the performance on a very fast internet connection.

thank you for answer , so u find those settings correct ?

 

[bill001g]

So you just want some yes/no answer from some random person on some forum without understanding anything you are setting.

You are lucky it doesn't matter.

@Saltywag86

Please no PMs.

Keep all questions and concerns within this thread so everyone will be "up-to-date".

I suggest that you update your post to indicate which settings you configured or changed and why you did so.

In addition, what are the specific firewall problems being encounted?

By "the settings are up!" do you mean that the router is simply configured with the default values?

Per @bill001g (Post #2):

"Most firewalls in consumer routers are purely there for marketing gimmicks. They sound complex and cool but actually do nothing in most cases. Most times they do not hurt to have on but in some cases they can affect the performance on a very fast internet connection."
If you changed any router and/or firewall configuration settings then more information is needed.

Make a list of the settings in use and why you choose those settings.

Post here.

And on your computer also run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt.

Post those results as well. You should be able to copy and paste the results without needing to retype it all.
