Application Setup
Can't work with Firewall Software
Enabling firewall applications on your PC may cause the UPnP
function not working properly. This is because these applications will
block the accessing ability of some network ports.
Security Considerations
Activating the UPnP function on your network may incur some
security threats. You should consider carefully these risks before
activating the UPnP function. ‡
1. Some Microsoft operating systems have found out the UPnP
weaknesses and hence you need to ensure that you have applied
the latest service packs and patches. ‡
2. Non-privileged users can control some router functions, including
removing and adding port mappings. ‡
The UPnP function dynamically adds port mappings on behalf of
some UPnP-aware applications. When the applications terminate
abnormally, these mappings may not be removed.
