Close a range of ports

I have beaten my brains out trying to find a solution to my open ports. I can find everything I want to know about opening ports but NOTHING about how to delete them. I have a huge range of ports that are open on my Orbi RBR 50. They are in sequencial order so I could, if I can find out how, to delete the entire range. They are not associated with any service or device. All I want to do is to close/delete this range of ports. They are shown under UPNP window in the advanced settings. Running 2.7.3.22 firmware. Attached is a sample of the range. Thanks VERY MUCH

    If you have uPnP enabled you can disable this. 

    I would check to see what is uses those ports first.

      Thanks for the prompt reply. I have a few devices that use UPNP but this range that I accidently opened needs to be closed. If I disable UPNP, I'm afraid that it might crash my NAS security which was set up using UPNP. I feel like I accidently opened a snakes nest!
