Actually, I don't think it does. I just dropped it again, and this time that didn't make a difference at all.
This issue almost appears random, so it's hard to pinpoint. But it happened right after I uninstalled 6 and installed 7.

Deal breaker if you own an Asus RT-AC66U (or quite possibly an Asus RT-AC68U or a RT-N66U)
The router is in the trusted zone. UPNP is not allowed for system services in the Trusted Zone by default. You can check this yourself by clicking the "default" button. The checkmark will disappear.
Anyway, I enabled it.
Doesn't really seem to help. On rare occasions I can suddenly access the router.
I have no clue where application protocol filtering is located in advanced setup.
I'm seeing this a lot in my Eset logs, but I have no clue if this is what's causing the problem:

Using Automatic firewall setting
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
Access is timing out to asusnetwork.net (or the router's internal IP) for router's web access.
Firefox, IE, Chrome . . . doesn't matter. Neverending cycling attempt by browser to access
router.
Eset 6 worked fine.
Tried adding router IP to IDS exception. Doesn't help.
