To enable UPnP:
1. Select the Yes radio box for Do you want to enable UPnP? to enable UPnP. If disabled, the
router will not allow for automatic device configuration.
2. Enter an Advertisement Period, in minutes, for how often this wireless gateway should
broadcast its UPnP information to all devices within range.
3. Enter an Advertisement Time to Live, expressed in hops, for each UPnP packet. (This is the
number of steps a packet is allowed to propagate before being discarded. Small values will
limit the UPnP broadcast range (recommended).)
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
