Hi there.

I've got a Pioneer AirPlay speaker (the A4) and it was having problems with AirPlay almost immediately after purchase - it would connect to my wifi but the AirPlay button would never appear in my iTunes, iPad or iPhone.

I switched my NAT Filtering from Secure to Open and this seems to have fixed the problem.

However, I was wondering what the risks are of having open NAT Filtering? Does it really matter for security? Are there other ways I can get AirPlay working?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just worried that I'm leaving my network and computer vulnerable to hacking or something.
