12.4 Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly with 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 in the 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 function if you want to play online games with many friends, realize point-to point
connection, use real-time communication (such as Internet telephony or telephone conference) or
have remote assistance, etc.
Tip:
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this router.
2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this function.
3. UPnP function needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows XP/ Windows Vista/
Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of operating system need to install the UPnP
components).
For example: When you connect your Xbox to the router which has connected to the Internet to
play online games, UPnP will send request to the router to open the corresponding ports allowing
the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games
smoothly.
