Routers with UPnP enabled
Mr. Fairlie,
I would have to disagree with you regarding that most routers have UPnP disabled when shipped. Most [if not all] of the wireless routers that I have worked with in the last 12-24 months have UPnP enabled straight from the factory/store shelf. We have always recommended to our clients to disable it unless there is a very real need to have it enabled.
