What else should I check?

Probably the simplest is activating upnp on your router and bitcoin node.

The latter one did the trick when I was facing the same issue back in October of last year ^{[had no luck with the router adjustments]} and alternatively, you can achieve a similar result with the help of uTorrent:

I found a workaround of some sort and I'll probably stick with it for the time being ^{[credit goes to "this video"]}:
^{Note: It doesn't work with a VPN connection ^{[if you try it, you need to restart your windows to get it back to work]}.}

Steps:
- Download uTorrent
- Option > Preferences > Connections > Listening Port > 8333 > Apply > Ok.
- Keep it open!

They're tactical

Yes, I guess that would be the most convenient way if it is possible for this router.

Google returns me some decent results. Have you tried them?

Using Tor may solve my problem partially, I will try to set up that, but I am still looking for a way to do that also for clearnet connections.

Excuse me from asking but why do you want clear net connections? Is speed necessary for your job? There's no other downside when you're going through Tor. Unless you want to contribute to the clear net on purpose, there's no reason other than speed to not use Tor.

Do you want to know how to make this possible with this very router?

Yes, I guess that would be the most convenient way if it is possible for this router. Or maybe buying another router is an option, but then I have to make sure it has SIM card support and port forwarding.

How about allowing incoming connections in another way?

I also thought about using my VPS as a proxy, so my node could initiate a connection with my VPS, and that server would connect with the rest of the world. Of course, in this case the easiest way would be just running a full node on my VPS directly, but as I want a full node and I don't have 400 GB disk on my VPS, I thought about just routing the network traffic through my server.

If you install Tor and set listen=1, listenonion=1 and discover=1 in your configuration file, you will have incoming connections without port forwarding. It's just how Tor works. Check: Setting up a Tor hidden service

However if you want to receive incoming connections in clear net you're forced to port forward. The procedure of port forwarding it is different in each router and some internet providers require their permission to do it.

I have Bitcoin full node with all blocks and I am trying to forward ports, so that other people can connect with my node. I tried following https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#port-forwarding but there are still no incoming connections. Is it possible to do with this router? What else should I check? Some images of my settings:
