			With UPnP they all will open ports correctly.Do you need wireless? N? Gigabit LAN ports?

			How do you mean "Opens game ports automatic"? Are you going to be hosting games or?

			Most routers with UPnP open the ports automatically. Not all of them though. They are easy to open anyways.

			I'm only asking as the only need to Open Ports is if you intend on hosting a game server

			I personally do not know of any routers that will forward ports automatically unless the server is specifically written to request a port be opened by UPNP - are we talking console gaming or PC gaming?
