UPnP Issues after Upgrade
Just upgraded from an Orbi RBR850 to the 970 and everything is going fine except for UPnP. Prior everything just worked. When I started a server the control points could see it and there were no issues. Now when starting a server (I've tried on my Mac and on my Synology NAS) the control points can't see anything. Topology is the same, Base and 2 satellites in the same locations. Wiring and switches haven't changed. Just the router. I've tried Minimserver and Asset UPnP. No luck. Tried various control point apps all report no server on the network. How do I get this working again?
Thanks

Please clarify: the entire system was upgraded? (router and two satellites) and was configured with exactly the same WiFi credentials (SSID/password) as the previous system?
Yes, exactly.
Thanks. Sometimes I get hung up on terminology, i.e.
Just the router.
The goal is to have a Synology NAS on the local network accessible from applications installed on the Mac, which is on the same local network?
Access from the internet is not desired at this time?
NO, everything is working as before. I can access the Synology and the Synology can access the Mac and I can see all my devices on the network and the internet is working. But UPnP isn't. If I set up a server (I've tried both my Mac and NAS) the endpoints don't see it. And vice versa. It all worked fine with the old router. I would set up UPnP server and the endpoints could immediately see it a browse it a play from it. But now nothing.
I've tried Minimserver and Asset UPnP. No luck. Tried various control point apps all report no server on the network.
Have you tested this with the UPnP setting in the router both enabled and disabled?
