You do not need a router's UPnP support to use UPnP enabled media devices in your network.

UPnP is a standardization group covering a vast amount of topics, not only media sharing.
i'm not saying that you need it to make it work. but that it's generally supposed to help make it easier for the user by doing those basic tasks itself.

i'm not sure if the N9 even uses upnp, but i know the ps3 does hence why i suggested it.
