- Mister_Snuggles 9y agoThe last router I bought (a UniFi Security Gateway) can do UPnP, but the (non-beta) UniFi Controller doesn't expose that option. You can enable it through the commandline on the router though. I'd certainly call the option "difficult to find". ;)
- Dylan16807 9y ago"Difficult to find the setting on your non-consumer router" is different from "difficult to find a router that has it".
- FussyZeus 9y agoI've owned eight or so over the years, 2 of them had it, one of which was the most recent one I bought explicitly for it. YMMV
- sofaofthedamned 9y agoFor clarity the router I used was my own Linux based one, so it wasn't off the shelf. I'd have happily port forwarded it, but the android version didn't need it so why the Linux one?
- FussyZeus 9y agoI've not used Skype so I can't say, but anyone who's used an XBox console online knows about the port forwarding nightmares you have to go through to make the things work correctly. UPnP was the only way to make 2 consoles work at the same time.
