The UPNP is not absolutely necessary for the slingbox to work in all the cases, sometimes it works without it, have you tried to disable it and use the slingbox, do you get problems when you use the slingbox without it?
Categories: PRO Routers / Networking Hardware
I play an online game that requires upnp to be disabled in order to connect or you get booted. This interferes with my slingbox and it's a pain changing my router settings every time someone wants to watch the slingbox. Is there any way around this?? Can I disable upnp and do something else so that my slingbox will still work? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If it is disabled no one can connect to the slingbox. My brother bought the slingbox to hook up on my tv so he can watch our local football games because he just moved away. Every Sunday he calls to remind me to switch it over because he tries to connect and it doesn't work!

Disable UPNP, rerun the network setup. At one point you'll have an option something like "I'm a do it myself type" and you can set up the port forwarding manually... More reliable than UPNP anyway..
