I finally disabled UPnP and WPS on my router, and here's why you should too

Both UPnP and WPS features on your router are similar in the sense that they let you automate network setup. While WPS simplifies adding a device to a Wi-Fi network without needing to type the WPA2/WPA3 password, UPnP simplifies port setup by letting devices auto-discover each other and automate port configurations. Another similarity between these features is a history of security issues that can facilitate unauthorized Wi-Fi access and malware attacks.
