Why the sarcastic quotes around “security reasons”? Mom and pop need same defaults. An argument can be made that disabling it is a same default.



OP is not talking about disabled by default, he’s talking about disabled permanently, i.e. you literally cannot turn uPnP on because the ISP disables the functionality. I know that AT&T does this with their BGW210-700. Security is good, but locking people out of basic features is not.
