UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

Selecting UPnP in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen generates the “UPnP” screen. In this screen, the Universal Plug and play option is turned on or off by activating the appropriate circle.

Universal Plug and Play is a zero-configuration networking protocol that allows hardware and software (such as Netmeeting) to operate more efficiently. If Netmeeting is not running properly, activate UPnP.

☞Note: Activating UPnP presents a slight security risk. After fin- ishing with the hardware or software using UPnP, Actiontec rec- ommends deactivating UPnP.
