Universal Plug and Play (UPnP):

UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along

with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users

running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes

tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required

settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

Both the user‟s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in

addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the

component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection

Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not

support UPnP.

Disable:

Check to disable the router‟s UPnP functionality.

Enable:

Check to enable the router‟s UPnP functionality.

UPnP Port: The Default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended you use this port

value. If this value conflicts with other ports already in use you may wish to change the

port.
