Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access

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: 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.
