I ran the Rapid 7 scanner and not sure I understand the results. It said exploitable - 0, identified - 1 which was my router. Am I locked down?

Open the router's web interface and look for a upnp option.

Tried the free scan and the result was OK as far as that test goes.

Ok found Upnp option do I disable and if so will that stop Skype working? It also gives a Upnp port number.

You can disable it for the time being and re-enable it if you have any issues.

By the way, the scan result is reporting that your router is uPnP enabled, not exploitable.

Shields UP!! has now got its Universal Plug n'Play (UPnP) Internet Exposure Test up and running. Unlike Rapid7, it does not need to be downloaded, stored in temp files and run on your PC.

I have uPnP enabled on my router and it passes the test:
THE EQUIPMENT AT THE TARGET IP ADDRESS
DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!
(That's good news!)
