    Greetings Joe,

    That is for the built-in firewall and has nothing to do with routers; do not forward these
    ports on your router.

    You might want to check that you're using the latest firmware for the DI-604 and that UPnP is
    engaged (I'm not quite sure if the DI-604 has an UPnP toggle or not):
