Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access
the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the
services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on UPnP.
Set up UPnP according to the guidelines below.
• Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The
default setting for UPnP is disabled. If disabled, the router will not allow any device to
automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router.
Note: When accessing your router from the Internet, you will type your router's WAN IP
address into your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box,
followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external
address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, you must enter http://
134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.

Note: If you use applications such as multi-player gaming, peer-to-peer connections,
real time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a
feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP.
