Universal Plug and Play (UPnP):
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along
with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users
running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes
tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required
settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user‟s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in
addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the
component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection
Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not
support UPnP.
Disable:
Check to disable the router‟s UPnP functionality.
Enable:
Check to enable the router‟s UPnP functionality.
UPnP Port: The Default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended you use this port
value. If this value conflicts with other ports already in use you may wish to change the
port.
