Using the Web-based advanced User interface
Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered
by your Belkin router� it is a technology that offers seamless operation of
voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that
are UPnP-compliant� some applications require the router’s firewall to
be configured in a specific way to operate properly� This usually requires
opening TCP and UDP ports� An application that is UPnP-compliant
has the ability to communicate with the router, basically “telling” the
router which way it needs the firewall configured� if you are using any
applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of
the UPnP features, do not worry, this router ships with the UPnP feature
enabled as default setting� if you want to disable the UPnP feature, simply
select “Disable” in the “UPnP enabling/Disabling” section of the “Utilities”
page� Click “Apply Changes” to save the change�
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the router with the built-in capability to
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that
the new firmware is available� When you log into the router’s Web-
Based Advanced User interface, the router will perform a check to see
if new firmware is available� if so, you will be notified� You can choose
to download the new version or ignore it� The router ships with this
feature enabled� if you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click
“Apply Changes”�
