Improve Network Connections with 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),
enable UPnP.
To enable Universal Plug and Play:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type http://routerlogin.net or www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the gateway user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4.
Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > UPnP.
5.
Select the Turn UPnP On check box.
By default, this check box is selected. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the
gateway does not allow any device to automatically control router resources, such as port
forwarding.
6.
Type the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the gateway broadcasts its UPnP
information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30
minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points receive current device status at the
Dual Band Wireless VDSL2 + Ethernet Gateway
