WiFi "UPnP" Security Warning
4.5
Your security software warns you that UPnP is enabled on your router, which is a risk.
Symptoms
- Security alert
- Vulnerability found
- Unauthorized port openings
Possible Causes
- UPnP enabled by default
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Disable UPnP
Log into your router and turn off "Universal Plug and Play".
2
Use Manual Port Forwarding
If a game needs a port open, do it manually instead of letting UPnP do it automatically.
3
Update Router Firmware
Ensure your router has the latest security patches.
When to See a Technician
UPnP allows any device on your network to open a hole in your firewall without a password.
