Modern dd-wrt and TomatoUSB routers should be ok. Test your router for exposure here: »www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

EDIT: Also, I find it hilarious that one of the tools used to test whether you are vulnerable requires Java to be installed (something I think most would agree is far worse, security wise, than having UPnP enabled!)

prooograms @telus.net	The port test for open ports will show the open port as stealth if the program that opened the port does not respond(as in: not running) to the probe. Any router(or combo unit with fries) is junk, if it is default setup to reply to any probe no matter the program that opened the port.
