To forward ports on your router just login to your router's on-line interface. Port Fowarding is used when a program (lets use FileFind [not a real program]) requests a port the router doesn't understand. Lets say that FileFind requests port 130 on your router, but your router doesn't have a port 130. It does, however, have a 128. The port forwarding tells the request to port 130 to be routed through port 128.

Why is a router called a stateless device?

Actually not all routers are stateless devices. There are stateful routers also. The definition depends on the IP filtering and routing algorithms used. Routers which have static IP filters and routing tables are of the stateless type. Routers with Static IP filters allow direct connections from the external network to hosts on the internal network and typically there is no authentication. More intelligent and secure routers with dynamic IP address and packet based filtering are known as stateful type. Stateful routers can also have application proxies or gateways. These have more overheads for processing packets passing through the routers. - Neeraj Sharma

What is the purpose of routers?

Routers are responsible for delivering and receiving network communication. They regulate what goes in from either "leg" of the router and what goes out of either "leg". They can also be configured to send specific data through specific routes, hence the name. The purpose of routers is to take the signal that is being sent via the cable wire and convert it into a wireless signal that multiple devices can connect to.

I have to routers and I'm using one of them as an access point and how do I forward ports when I am connected to the access point and the first router doesn't find me?

Many consumer routers are actually NAT switches which is a hybrid device. If you want seemless connectivity then the NAT switch secondary device must be configured as a ROUTER and attached directly to your Gateway device. The Gateway device could be a ADSL Modem, Cable Modem, NAT Router (Switch) etc
