Improve Network Connections With Universal Plug and Play

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers access the network and
connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered
UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as
instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), enable UPnP.
To enable Universal Plug and Play:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
