Can't set up Google Home Mini

Mon Sep 09, 2019 10:43 pm

This past week I set up a new home network - an RB760iGS and two Unifi AP's. I'm a software developer but not that great at networking - 90% of the options in RouterOS are over my head. Typically I can google through something like this but I'm hitting a wall.

My network seems to be running pretty well except for my Google Home Mini - it bails during setup. After selecting the wireless network to connect to, it gives the error "Could not communicate with your Google Home Mini." I (tried to) set up uPNP but I have no idea if it's correct. Other than that I haven't configured anything. On the AP's I've only changed broadcast channels. But it's very possible I need to change something on the wireless network and not the router.

Thank you!

Config:
# sep/09/2019 15:00:18 by RouterOS 6.45.5
# software id = UGQK-1D1D
#
# model = RB760iGS
# serial number = AE370A86F330

Correct upnp
/ip upnp
set allow-disable-external-interface=yes enabled=yes
/ip upnp interfaces
add interface=bridge type=internal
add interface=ether1 type=external

/ip dns set allow-remote-requests=yes - is it really needed?
If yes, it is a good idea to secure mikrotik from DNS attacks. Move these rules up in the firewall
/ip firewall filter
add action=reject chain=input comment="Reject DNS from WAN" dst-port=53 in-interface-list=WAN protocol=tcp reject-with=\
    icmp-port-unreachable
add action=reject chain=input comment="Reject DNS from WAN" dst-port=53 in-interface-list=WAN protocol=udp reject-with=\
    icmp-port-unreachable

The uPNP changes seemed to work -- thanks!

I'm also having troubles with a Google nest hub max.
It connects to the router but does not display weather / etc "widgets". If I connect it to another router - everything is fine.
What could this be?!?
uPNP is enabled but it does not open a port (nothing shows up in firewall as uPNP rule)
