Disabling UPnp on NH20T hub
My home setup does not include the need for gaming or other activities requiring UPnp to be active. Leaving UPnp open creates a security risk because the protocol requires no authentication.
There is no obvious UPnp toggle available when logged in as admin to the NAT interface.
Since I'm trying to be proactive in securing my network against external threats, I'd like some guidance on how to disable UPnp which is likely set to active by default.

UPnP is enabled by default so devices like Optik TV boxes, smart home gear, and VoIP work seamlessly. Because core TELUS services rely on it, we won't officially support disabling UPnP,
I get that you may have internet as a standalone service so If other members wish to share their experience, I'll let this post stand to see if others can chime in on their own solutions.
