Settings – UPnP
UPnP Option • UpnP (Univeral Plug & Play) can be enabled or disabled for automatic
device configuration. If disabled (Default), the router will not allow any
device to automatically control the resources.
• Advertisement Interval –The Advertisement Interval is how often the
router will broadcast its UPnP information. This value can range from 2 to
1440 minutes. The default interval is for 30 minutes. Shorter time interval
will ensure that control points have current device status at the expense
of additional network traffic. Longer time interval may compromise the
freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.
• Outgoing Interface – Select though which WAN or LAN port you want to
send out traffic from UPNP. If the WAN port you select loses its
connection, the router attempts to use the other WAN port. If the other
WAN port also does no work, the router drop outgoing packets from
UPNP.
