Clicking the Reboot button will restart the
router. This is useful for restarting when you
are not near the router.
If you enable this option, you are causing
the router not to respond to ping commands
to the public WAN IP address of the router.
Pinging public WAN IP addresses is a
common method used by hackers to test
whether your WAN IP address is valid.
Select a firewall rule that controls access as
needed for ping commands. If you do not see
the firewall rule you need in the list of firewall
rules, go to the Advanced -> Firewall page
and create a new firewall rule.
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play,
which is a networking architecture that
provides compatibility among networking
equipment, software, and peripherals. This
router has optional UPnP capability, and can
work with other UPnP devices and software.
If you do need to use the UPnP functionality,
you can enable it here.
If you are experiencing difficulties when playing online games or even certain applications that use voice data, you may
need to enable Gaming Mode for these applications to work correctly. When not playing games or using these voice
applications, it is recommended that Gaming Mode be disabled.
