Hi @Gibsonic
@Michelle-TalkTalk has asked me to help you. Is UPnP the only way for this NAS to work? I would never recommend it as UPnP is very insecure, you are always far better off with Port Forwarding & UPnP disabled. UPnP is enabled by default & in V130 it can be disabled within the UI now.
It sounds to me that the NAS is connecting OK & then tries to discover if the router has UPnP enabled or not. It sounds like it is disabled within the router. If you want to know how to enable it, I will tell you, but it is at your own risk.
These are some vulnerabilities when devices are using uPnP.
Any malware etc that manages to infect a device on your local network can utilise UPnP, just like legitimate applications can. Whilst a router normally blocks incoming connections, preventing some malicious access, UPnP could allow a malicious process to bypass the firewall entirely.
There is no mitigating this problem, because UPnP treats all local applications as trustworthy and allows them to forward ports. The only way to make uPnP secure is to disable it.
The much safer approach, in my opinion, is to use Port Forwarding & leave UPnP disabled.
