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 have had UPnP on with every firmware I have tested using the R7000 with 4 desktops, 2 laptops, 1 iphone, 1 android tablet, 1 ipad min, and 1 wireless printer that is hardwired into a switch (+1 other additional switch & an access point that is hard wired as a wireless range extender-all into the r7000) and have never had any issues with upnp.
I don't think I've been hacked & even if, I mean, it's like 7 terabytes of my wife's porn, anyways,
