10. 4. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices
to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the
corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on both sides
of NAT device can freely communicate with each other realizing the seamless connection
of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want to use applications for
multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication (such as VoIP
or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Make the home PC join the Internet online game without port
restriction.
For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the
online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team
with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ
with all ports opened.
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example
192.168.0.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and
password you set for the router.
3. Go to
Advanced >
DMZ.
4. Enter the IP address 192.168.0.100 in the
Address filed.
5. Click Save.
The configuration is completed. You've set your PC to a DMZ
host and now you can make a team to game with other players.
