UPnP - Does it Clear port forwards at startup?

[niwmik]

I'm running Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.372.31. I have myPlex set to publish itself using UPnP and everything works. I see the UPNP-forwarded port listed on the System Log page, under Port Forwarding. However, the port forwarding will disappear after awhile. I have also notice that we have had some power outages and I haven't yet hooked up the router to a UPS. Does the router clear port forwards at startup? Thanks.

At startup, the router will have no forwarded ports from UPNP - clients will have to re-register them.

The ports get automatically closed after a certain period of inactivity (I forgot how long).

thanks RMerlin, i'll just manually add a port foward instead of using upnp
