Universal Plug And Play - NETGEAR N300 User Manual

Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose
a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port.
The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
5. Click Apply.
Your changes take effect.
6. When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router's WAN IP address into your
browser's address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number.
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080,
enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.

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),
you should enable UPnP.
To enable Universal Plug and Play:

1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP.
The UPnP screen displays.
2. Configure the UPnP settings, as follows:
• Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the router
does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port
forwarding (mapping) of the router.
