I'm wanting to close port 22 (ssh) on my home router, and I don't see any facilities in its GUI for doing that.
inbound ports that aren't forwarded are closed by default on most any/all NAT routers, unless the router itself is listening to said port.
Isn't there any sort of portforwarding thing? Such as forward port 2222 (I wouldn't use that one, it's too common, but as an example) to 192.168.1.5, and then have 192.168.1.5 listen on port 2222? Then have a firewall rule to allow access on that port and edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to listen on 2222 instead of 22.
Looking at http://nextgendigitalhome.com/1829/home-network/scalable-gateway/the-asus-rt... it seems as if it would allow this and it's described in the section WAN Virtual Server/Port Fowarding.
