Hi,

I use Fing app for security and it is warning me that I have a number of open ports, please see Fing Screenshot. Just how to do that? I have looked at the UPnP page and the port forwarding / port triggering page and there seems to be no function to close or remove those open ports.

I agree with the other response.  This seems to be telling you that at some time in the past traffic occurred on those ports, likely due to an app you were running at the time, but it is not a persistent open port via Orbi.  You can also check using a website like https://canyouseeme.org/ whether one of those listed ports is open right now.  I suspect it will report it unable to connect (i.e., closed) so no problem.
