what happens if I disable UPnP?

[OzarkEdge]

I suspect that the more recent ASUS routers (like AC86U) are not affected by this bug.

Also, I suspect that in a well-designed router like the AC86U you can safely disable UPnP and not impact Chromecast functionality.

As a test, I disabled UPnP on my AC86U (firmware 45149) last night, and was able to use my Chromecast and Google Home without any issues.

I have disabled UPnP on 66U, 68U, and now 86U... Chromecast 1 and 2 have always worked ok.
