hello!
i compiled openwrt from source for keenetic explorer
didn't do any configurations
internet is working
but it is not accessible from WWW
i checked with https://check-host.net/check-ping

router is connected to cable modem of isp that converts coaxial cable to ethernet
they said everything should be fine, so it is something with router configuration
This is exceedingly dangerous.... under normal circumstances, you absolutely do not want the router's administrative and/or any other services (ssh, http/https, etc.) to be available to the internet.
What is your goal? And what problem are you trying to solve?
You didn't answer the second question.
i don't know does ISP use CGNAT
ssh to my router from anywhere
What are the first two octets (in bold: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) of the address shown after you issue this command:
ifstatus wan | grep address
For ssh, you should only open port 22. Not all services.
Beyond that, it is recommended instead to use a VPN... setup wireguard and that is a much more secure way to access your router.

You are behind NAT from your provider. That means that you do not have a public IP address on your OpenWrt router. As a result, direct connections via ssh (or even wireguard) will not be possible.
You can use something like tailscale or zero-tier to gain access to your router remotely.
