Hi everyone,


I can't find the option to disable upnp on the WAX214, GUI/SSH


Do you know how to disable it ?

    Talking about the discovery only? There is no routing so no UPnP PMP, too.

        Most implementations of UPnP PMP inherit certain security risks (exposal on LAN or WAN) UPnP device announcements are oversee able. To many people are running crazy if they hear UPnP..
