Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by 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 if you want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication
(such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Tips:
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this router.
2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.
3. UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. 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 without a hitch.
