'Transparent UPNP' or 'UPNP Cascade'?

Could you please add a feature as 'Transparent UPNP' or 'UPNP Cascade'?

In double NAT environment, the clients under the second router could ask the second router to add port mapping without any issue, while such request will not be redirected to the main router.

I hope such feature could be enabled or disabled.

When enabled, the second router will check the exisitng UPNP rules and send the same requests to the main router.

I think it is a very useful feature.

  • Because I want to assign the fixed ip addresses to all of my devices and the primary router is not controlled by me.

    I extened the primary router with my own router and connected all my devices to my own router, so I could get more control on my devices and also archived much better WIFI performance.

     

    I fixed this issue with the help of miniupnpc, while if it could be one feature of the router, it will be very convenient.
