Select Advanced > UPnP to display the following screen:
1.
Figure 53. Turn on UPnP
Fill in the settings as follows:
2.
Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If UPnP is disabled, the wireless modem router
does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding
(mapping), of the wireless modem router.
Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the wireless modem
router advertises (broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440
minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points
have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations
might compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
Advertisement Time To Live. This is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement
before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value is 4
hops, which works for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being
updated or reached correctly, you might need to increase this value a little.
UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP
device that is currently accessing the wireless modem router and which ports (internal
and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type
of port is opened and if that port is still active for each IP address.
