This applies to many routers, although I am using Linksys 1900ac.
Is UPnP needed to be enabled on the router for common Windows and iOS apps?
In particular, is it needed for Apple's Airplay feature (used by AppleTV and many receivers including my Denon) and by DLNA to function?
Thanks.

PS: This seems to be a big no-no based on these news items from last year:
