I feel like this should be an easy fix but I've only had a few hours of sleep  and just can't seem to really process everything correctly.   

I'll ask Shane though for you.

For some reason your router may not allow port 21 to be setup right. Plus a lot of ISP's block port 21 from users hosting it.

So just try setting your ftp server to use a different port and give that a try. Rule of thumb is when you ever host anything from your home computer never use the default ports

thanks but some days ago i was hosting ftp on standard 21 port so mine isp aint blocking it at all and suddenly router started to inform me abouth problem above,i will put pics to check...

Looks like the CPE in the router is using port 21, and if you enable the rule it will change the cpe to 2121 is all.
Go ahead and set the rule and run the port tester and see what happens.

From what I can see it seems to be more of an information msg than an error.
