Hi,
You can get your mikrotik to export settings that give information for us to help you.
E.g.:
/ip firewall filter,
/ip firewall nat
/ip addresses
These give usefull info
or do global export of the whole mikrotik config.
Remember to exlude sensitive info when doing a global export of the config if you post it 
Relevant info can make us help you.
I use mikrotik routers and have them working with no issues when listening to ARC
When i have the time later in the day, i can post relevant config items.
Note, that here are a lot of different MikroTik routers so post your type and ROS version.

Have tried setting up Upnp and NAT in firewall settings, but no luck.

Description of Issue
Can’t router to talk to Roon Nucleus fro ROON Arc
Hei Allan,
Please post more information on the actual config and ROS version.
MikroTik routers can be configured in a lot of ways, so please:
State the version of your ROS and post relevant or (best of all) the complete configuration.
Eg. Use / export file=myrouter hide-sensitive
Or post info from e.g. relevant section like: /ip firewall nat pr and /ip address pr
But the more we see of your config the better we can help.
As of now i will not do anything until i have relevant information.
MikroTik has a very good diagnostics toolset but you must be willing to use and share.
EDIT: The MikroTik RouterOS is professional enterprise grade and is really a swiss army knife that can be used and configured in thousands of different ways, also in wrong ways!!!
My home router :

This is output from /system routerboard pr

This is partial output from /system resource pr
The diagnostics you’ve provided suggest that UPnP is not properly configured on your router.
Please first try the following steps:
Bridge modeIf you continue to experience difficulties, please tag the support team and include the following information, as requested by @PeterD:
ARC can be configured with two configuration commands on RouterOS, if the prerequisites are met.
Although ROS supports UPnP i would not choose to use it.
A Mikrotik router is a professional complicated device and you have to know how to use it.
Using it the wrong way can cause serious networking problems or unsafe behaviour.
The above disclaimer is why i do not post the relevant commands to enable ARC, as that potentially can harm Allans configuration.

Remove in-interface=bridge or change it to the correct wan interface.
Your wan interface has to be where the internet traffic is comming in.
There is no output information for the /ip address pr command, that would be usefull.
It gives a list of ip addresses on the respective interfaces that need to route/switch the traffic.
Just a side question, is your wan ip a routable ip address that is not NATed by your provider?
Please provide export of your COMPLETE configuration.
Here is a dump of the config

In your config you did not change the nat rule as i proposed.
Delete the one you have or disable it an put the one above there instead, test and report back.
Did you add those? They are not needed.
Disable them while testing.
Disable all upnp config while testing.
Did the recommended changes, the Nucleus reports that I am set up for ARC.
Much to my surprise!
Thanks so much
Good to hear it is working.
Cheers, Peter
