Yes, if you're using an app that uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), your router's UPnP should also be enabled:
What is UPnP?
UPnP allows devices on a network to find each other and perform port conversions to access resources on other computers. This can be useful for things like multiplayer gaming and chat.
How to enable UPnP on your router?
You can usually enable UPnP by logging into your router's setup page and navigating to the "Network" or "Firewall" settings. Look for the "UPnP" option and toggle it to "On".
Security considerations
However, some say that enabling UPnP can make your network less secure and open you up to online threats. If you don't have an essential need for UPnP, you should disable it. If you do need to open ports, you can do so manually on a case-by-case basis.
