Re: UPNP no longer works

I just updated to Firmware V1.0.3.16
After the router completed the update, UPNP no longer works.
I have tried rebooting the router several times but the port is not being automatically forwarded to the computer on the network. I have never had an issue with this before. Two ports that are usually handled are transmission and Plex.
I manually forwarded the ports and it is working. But I shouldnt have to manually manage the connections.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?

Thanks for the info! I actually downgraded as well, right after I posted. All is working again!
Is there any place we can submit the bug to Netgear so they can fix it?

Re: UPNP no longer works
I have the same problem, with my R9000, UPNP just stopped working, so I had to downgrade to v1.0.3.10... And now it works again!

Re: UPNP no longer works
Can just confirm that neither my Windows 10 system (ie. with Skype) nor a NAS (QTS) is able to set UPnP PMP port forwardings. The NAS does report "Error" against 1.0.3.16 R9000. Reverting to .10 seems to work - but this is not an option for me, can see this issue resolved.

Re: UPNP no longer works
I had to downgrade my R9000 back to V1.0.3.10 as well.
This is a pretty significant bug, I'm surprised the Netgear team let it get released.
I really hope a fix is coming soon.

Re: UPNP no longer works
I agree, it is a pretty severe oversite.
I have 6 devices on my network that use it. 4 of those 6 dont offer the ability to manually forward the port to their IP. (they dont give the port number that would need to be forwarded)

Re: UPNP no longer works
I too am eagerly awaiting a fix to the UPNP. This has made my Plex server not available for remote viewing unless I manually forward the port (which I should have to do).

Re: UPNP no longer works
FYI - I spoke to Netgear tech support and they indicated that a new firmware version was confirmed yesterday that fixes this issue. They indicated that it should be released within a week, but a beta version can be requested now if you want it.

Re: UPNP no longer works
Just refreshed the firmware section of genie, looks like Netgear just released V1.0.4.2
I'm going to try updating now. There's no update notes on the r9000 product support page yet.

Re: UPNP no longer works
I updated the firmware, then factory reset it, and relaunched plex on my NAS. Everything seems good, haven’t discovered any big bugs yet.

Re: UPNP no longer works
I can also confirm that the current new release on the FW has fixed the UPnP issue.
That was actualy impressive. I have never seen them get a fix out that fast.
Thanks to everyone that kept me in the loop about the release of the new FW!

Re: UPNP no longer works
Confirming that on the latest V1.0.0.56, UPNP no longer works. No amount of restart, restore factory settings brings it back.

Re: UPNP no longer works
Be grateful that it doesn't work as anyone with half an idea would turn it off anyway
