Every router-ISP does their own thing (some prevent it)
CAUTION: Turning off the wrong security options leaves you whole network exposed.
Pin hole refers to a tiny hole (1 port wide). Still not perfect, but better than no firewall.
The pinhole is for access
to the HOST PC (calibre-content server), not the devices using the server. That is 1 pinhole.
I suggest NOT using port 8080 as that is the most common (default)
Wireless to the host is also more complicated (WiFi security measures). Use a CAT5 cable when ever possible between the router and the host PC
