Hi, I am Leon, i am a new bitcomet user from Malaysia. I have read all the tutorials and successfully set up my listen port for my bitcomet and there are 2 green light at the bottom right of my bitcomet screen.

However, I have notice that there is 1 problem in the statistics tab:

UPnP NAT port mapping: Failed [uPNP device not found!]

I have search over the forum and internet, but I can't find any tutorial regarding enable UPNP for Innacomm W3400V Wireless Modem.

You're trying to enable something you don't have, simply disable upnp port mapping and the error will disappear, or you can simply ignore it.

Simply put, you do not have a problem.

Will it make download and upload speed slower?

No, your speed will be unaffected.

This is more of an unfortunate expression than a problem. UPnP on routers is very problematic. When it works, it's great, but when it doesn't, you can't fix it or even diagnose it most of the time. It's better to do your forwarding manually, so that you can diagnose and fix any issues.

To do this, I turn off UPnP in my router's settings. BitComet then says,

"Can't Find a UPnP Device! Panic! Horrors!"

Yeah, you can't find it because I disabled it and don't want you using UPnP. Much ado about nothing. I wish BitComet handled this more gracefully, though.

Thanks to kluelos and The UnUsual Suspect for the replies. I have done the port forwarding manually, just a bit concern about the UPNP things. Well, if the speed will not be affected, I think I just ignore it then.

Thanks again for the helps.

I'll try again so that hopefully you can understand this, and why it's NOT a problem.

uPnP is a standard used by some hardware devices where bitcomet can automatically open your port. Since you have uPnP option enabled in bitcomet, it is looking for a uPnP device (which you don't have), and it's reporting (correctly) that the device is not found. If you do not have a uPnP device, then you should have disabled uPnP port mapping in bitcomet's options, and until you do so, bitcomet is going to report that you're asking it to use a device you don't have.
