enabling/disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered
by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation
of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications
that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall
to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually
requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting
trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to
communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router which way
it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature
disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and
wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP
feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the
“Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.
enabling/disabling auto firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that
the new firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s advanced
interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is
available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the
new version or ignore it.
