I turned mine off months ago... never had any problem with that setting... I would expect UPnP to be instigated from your computer to the router and not the other way around so switching it off should produce an error message if an installation needs to set up PnP. If that’s the case then you can manually set up a PAT rule. Charlie -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
