Hello, Netgear community,

Problem: UPnP is not working as expected

Temp Solution: Reverting to firmware version 1.0.12.96

OS: Windows 11, Android

Router: Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500

As the title suggests, there seems to be a problem with the ongoing firmware at the time of writing this, which is version 1.12.13.100.

The firmware has difficulty forwarding ports using the UPnP protocol with Windows apps and Android. I'm not sure if this has already been reported.

I had to revert to firmware version 1.0.12.96 to get the UPnP working.

I'll attach some screenshots for your reference below:

I'm glad that such issues can be forwarded using this platform.
