with other UPnP devices/software. If you do not want to
use the UpnP functionality, you can disable it.

forwarder and DHCP server, designed to provide DNS
(and optionally DHCP) services to a small-scale
network.When DNSMasq is enabled, the client will set
the router IP address as a DNS address, if DNSMasqis
disabled, you must set a DNS address by manual.
