Advanced>UPnP
Your modem is Universal Plug ‘n Play Capable, for security this feature is disabled
by default. The UPnP architecture is a distributed, open networking architecture that
leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addi-
tion to control and data transfer among networked devices in the home, office, and
everywhere in between.
Supported by a large number of hardware and software vendors, UPnP provides a
simple method for enabling certain network games and messaging applications to
communicate, without requiring configuration of your router’s NAT function.
To Enable UPnP click the Enable UPnP box and choose the WAN connection (usually
‘PPPoE’). Select the LAN Connection (e.g. LAN Group 1) to which UPnP is to be ap-
plied to.
Option Description
Enable UPNP: Enable the UPnP.
Click Apply to save the changes.
