UPnP on or off ?
if u ask at security forums and almost every one says to turn it off for security reasons ok now but if u play games on xbox live and use the port forwarding every now an then the router gets confused...
- If you can trust all the devices on your LAN, i.e. are sure that none will have any malware that could take advantage of UPnP then you can turn it on, one advantage of UPnP is that ports are only open when in use. Have you tried running with UPnP on, does it help?
I'm also playing on xbox live with this Router. UPnP doesn work correctly so I disabled it - also for security Reasons.
Only Port Forwarding (not Triggering) works good for me - so I enabled port Forwarding and all is running fine :)
