Device: Linksys WRT1900ACSv2
Software versions: v19.07.9 and v19.07.2
Current Openwrt firmware: OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r13046-df27e949fb / LuCI Master git-20.113.57176-dc1d2ce
Affected Packages: miniupnpd, luci-app-upnp

I have flashed two versions of OpenWrt v19.07.2, one compiled by myself and the other using the official stable release from the website. On both versions I have then installed the latest version of the LuCI-app-UPnP which includes the miniupnpd daemon.

The problem is UPnP seems to very intermittent of how it picks up the ports from the devices. Some devices and applications show up under the Active UPnP Redirects and some don't at all. My primary testing device is my Sony PS3 and PS4 which requires UPnP to open up ports for an optimal online gaming experience. A common port that I reply on is UDP 3074 that is used by Call of Duty games to achieve open NAT type.

When I was running OpenWrt v18.06.5 at the time in 2019 everything worked perfectly including UPnP. When v19.07.0 was officially released for stable use, I noticed I was getting moderate NAT type within my games. With this in mind I checked the luci-upnp app and noticed that my PS4's IP address/hostname and the corresponding UDP 3074 was not listed. Sometimes I could get the PS4 to be picked up via the Sony PlayStation network test which would open up UDP port 9308 on LuCI-app-UPnP.

I have opened a couple of OpenWrt forum threads discussing UPnP not working:

The only working version of miniupnpd/luci-app-upnp seems to be miniupnpd 2.1-1 which I have had working on all the v19.07.* firmwares. OpenWrt v19.07.0 shipped with miniupnpd 2.1.20190408-2 and this was the point where it broke. Recently testing with the newer v19.07.2 firmware the miniupnpd has been updated to version 2.1.20191006 and this is the same story whereby the PS3/PS4 can't be picked up.

Interestingly I did some experimenting and took the files, patches and makefile from the master trunk, replaced PKG_VERSION:-2.1.20191006 with PKG_VERSION:-2.1.20200329 in the makefile (which is the very latest version of the MiniUPnP daemon source code found at https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files), compiled v19.07.2 and flashed it to my router. I then did a Sony PlayStation network test on my PS4 and UDP port 9308 was listed under Active UPnP Redirects. I then proceeded onto Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) and UDP port 3074 also appeared! However, I still had moderate NAT type which meant the firewall wasn't opening up somewhere. After clicking the Delete button on the LuCI UPnP page and opening the port manually on the firewall the game did give me open NAT type as expected. Weirdly though, the UPnP listing came back which has never happened any time I've used OpenWrt with manual port forwards. In other words if I open a port manually in the firewall UPnP will never list same port and destination device in the Active UPnP Redirects list.
