Hello All,
Proud new owner here of an Asus RT-AC68U wireless router and so far am loving the performance of this thing! I do however wonder if anybody has had any woes on stock firmware with the uPnP features? I'm running into two separate issues here...
1) I run Edovia's Screens Connect software for remotely logging into my iMac via iOS devices, and it keeps telling me that the router is mapping the public port to 5900 and that it could cause errors. Thankfully I'm still able to remote-in just fine both on the LAN and while away from my LAN. However, I never received this error before on my old D-Link DIR-827. Edovia's tech support have also alluded to the fact that it sounds like the router is not properly utilizing uPnP as port 5900 should be used as a last resort method by the router.
2) I have a QNAP TurboNAS TS-121 which features a cloud-based DDNS service called MyQNAPCloud. When I configure the DDNS service on the NAS and request for it to 'request' to open all required ports on my router, it gives me groups of ports that are not properly able to be forwarded via uPnP on the router. Those ports are TCP 20, 21, 22 and UDP ports 873 & 8899. All other ports get the green light from the NAS. When I check in my RT-AC68U settings, it does in fact appear that all other ports were correctly forwarded and that the router has not opened up those ports for unknown reasons. Lastly, my old DIR-827 had no issues again in opening all of these ports via uPnP with no forwarding required.
I am just after returning a Netgear R7000 for the above issues, but that router caused my NAS to completely lock up when trying to handshake the uPnP settings and gave me a slew of other grief (Screens Connect didn't work at all and none of the NAS ports would open after rebooting from locking up)
The Asus is almost on the home stretch, if I could only wrap my head around what is going on here...
