No; It is recommened that you get a good router. I have UPnP on my router enabled and

So either I have a good router or the test sucks.

You need to read the provided info. The test is for checking if the OEM has implemented UPnP the wrong way -- this latest expoit is about bypassing the defacto firewall functionality of your router using UPnP to open a hole from your secured home network to the entire Internet. Having UPnP running through your home network isn't the problem at all, it's about having UPnP expose your home network to anyone with online access.

      Suppose now that they're not trying to jam MSN related bits into the OS anymore they've put their devs back into actually doing something users want.

      You will soon have fewer reasons to open Control Panel in Windows 11 by Taras Buria Good news: more Control Panel bits are making their way to the Settings app, giving you fewer reasons to use the legacy UI that Microsoft buried deep inside its operating system. This time, the company is migrating certain clock-related settings, giving them a more modern look in the Settings app. The upgraded Settings app now lets you enable additional clocks in the notification center and adjust AM/PM indicators. These features work the same as they do in the legacy Control Panel: you can enable up to two additional clocks for two extra time zones and name them as you wish. Thanks to the redesign, the UI for setting up additional clocks supports dark and light themes, bigger UI elements, and improved accessibility. The same goes for the AM/PM indicators: you can customize them in Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region > Regional Format. Other Control Panel bits that recently made their way to the Settings app include some keyboard settings. Microsoft has not confirmed any of those changes yet, so stand by for announcements in future preview builds. Speaking of preview builds, this week, Microsoft released a new Canary build with improved context menus, taskbar changes, new accessibility features, and more. Check out the full release notes here.
