I am trying to set up a Belkin Netcam HD however it is coming up with an error "Network error. Please make sure your network allows connections through port 5104/4104". How do I open these ports up on my router? I have an ASUS RT-AC66U router.

As a rule you should not setup inbound port forward any camera really as this could be a security risk.
On your specific case, these cameras should be using outbound connections to the a cloud service, so no inbound required.
Are you using a third party DNS? Do you have Google DNS blocked by any reason?
I've seen some cameras that would try to reach Google DNS first to make sure an Internet connection existed and failing that the camera wouldn't work at all.

I just read Belkin is pulling support for all netcam's on 30th June 2020. They will become worthless after that date even with 3rd party apps.
Panasonic 65GZ1000, Onkyo RZ730, Atmos 5.1.2, AppleTV 4K, Nest Mini's, PS5, PS3, MacbookPro, iPad Pro, Apple watch SE2, iPhone 15+
The only good thing Belkin make is coaxial cable.
Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.
If you just bought these cameras maybe the best action is to return them.
