If you struggle with getting an open NAT, we generally recommend doing manual port forwarding instead of UPnP. If your connection is okay though, I would recommend using UPnP.

 

It's generally one or the other which is probably why you've seen different opinions. We usually recommend just keeping UPnP on and everything should work okay. If you encounter NAT related issues though, let us know and we'll help you out. Never use Port Forwarding and UPnP at the same time.

Im talking about enable upnp forwarding in misc section are you talking about that 1 or you talking about upnp in settings ?

I have mine enabled, I believe this allows the router to give your local devices an IPV6 address but not sure. actual desciption: Allows link-local IP address to be IPv6

If you're plugging into another router (which you are), turn it on. It can't hurt.

Would put the Virgin hub in modem mode or the Netduma in the DMZ of hub and disable UPnP forwarding in miscellaneous settings.

I have manual upnp plus misc is enabled. Why would it have comflict with my hub home router?

If you have the Duma in the DMZ then it's essentially saying any ports that come in go here. If upnp forwarding is enabled it tries to set port rules on the hub and can therefore conflict with other rules.
