You can’t exactly install a keylogger on a router in order to see keystrokes or get information on devices connected to the Wi-Fi. Instead, you would need to route traffic through some type of server, most likely a proxy server or VPN, and then install the keylogger on that. From there, you can log a lot.
For the most part, nothing at all happens. Your router will turn on and draw power, but you won’t be able to connect to the internet until your service is activated by the provider. Connecting early ensures that the hardware is ready for activation when the time comes. You can use Wi-Fi without the internet until then.
There are many things you can do, depending on how the port is being blocked. You can change router or firewall settings to unblock the port. You can contact your ISP to have them unblock it, or you can even mask the port with something like a VPN to trick your ISP into giving you the access you want.
An ISP can only block port forwarding if they control your router, so this is only an issue if they provided the router that you use. When that is the case, you can log into the router and look at the port forwarding settings. If you can’t see those settings, then the safe assumption is that port forwarding is blocked.

If your phone is being deliberately blocked from a Wi-Fi network, there are three primary ways around it. You can change your phone’s MAC address, you can spoof your phone’s MAC address, and you can also unblock your phone on the Wi-Fi router or ask the Wi-Fi router responsible to unblock you.
Technically, a router can be used to track internet history. But, the burden of knowledge and the sheer difficulty of the task make it impossible for most households. In fact, professional IT researchers would struggle to track internet history through a consumer router.
You can do one of two things. First, you can buy an expensive router for business that has a traffic shaping option. Traffic shaping is used to manage performance and increase usable bandwidth.
