addresses into the link layer addresses. And "Static ARP" here allows user to map manually the
layer-3 MAC (Media Access Control) address to the layer-2 IP address of the device.

UPnP

UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control
and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers
through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much
easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control
advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user's Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the
router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and
Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to
support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
UPnP:
 Enable: Check to enable the router's UPnP functionality.
 Disable: Check to disable the router's UPnP functionality.
