Minitel: France’s alternate Internet that survived until 2012

Like millions of people, I have a router at home, with WiFi and admin passwords set up.
If an attacker request comes in, there are no port forwarding rules set, and the router should say "hey request from the internet, I don't know to which device you want to go, sorry I'll drop you then", and I'm secure. But I don't think it's that simple. If a packet from the outer network can attack my LAN without using port forwarding, how?
Which router settings should I be really looking for to make home LAN more secure? Or what are the keywords of network security to start with?
