UPNP If you don't use port forwarding, you should disable UPnP. If you do use port forwarding, you can consider forwarding without UPnP, or manually forwarding each port. Convenience: UPnP is convenient because it automates device discovery on your network.

 Whether you should disable UPnP on your router depends on your needs and security concerns:

    Security: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) can leave your network vulnerable to cyberattacks and hacking. When enabled, UPnP can create holes in your router's firewall, allowing malware or a compromised device to access your router.

Port forwarding: If you don't use port forwarding, you should disable UPnP. If you do use port forwarding, you can consider forwarding without UPnP, or manually forwarding each port.
