The first port scan seems like a damn website. Go into your router and make sure UPnP is off and nothing is forwarded. Also make sure the firmware is updated and stay abreast of all firmware updates.

Try this scanner instead. https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

That website is unreliable at best. The fact that most of the information (and the overall design) on that site is from 17 years ago is a pretty good sign it's time to move on. For example when I run their "all service ports" scan, the only ports they actually hit are 1-5 and 137. Yet they're reporting they tested 1-1056.

That test actually hits common ports like they said, such as 25, 139, 443, 1720, 1723, 3389.
 
You're scanning internal LAN IP addresses from your phone, within the local area network. Those ports should not be accessible to the Internet from the WAN (wide area network) side of your router / modem. Unless you had configured the router to forward incoming connections to a particular device on the internal home network (that happens to run a listening server on the forwarded port number), then you typically would have nothing to worry about. It's not unusual for 192.168.1.1 to have a web server. It's how you'd access the settings if your router.

Type that number into the address bar of your web browser and you'll see a web page that comes from inside your router.
