UPnP Standards and Your Wireless Base Station
The Microsoft Wireless Base Station adheres to the UPnP™ standards that are defined by the Universal Plug and Play Forum. UPnP standards allow devices on the network to communicate their capabilities to the base station by using a common vocabulary. This makes setting up your wireless base station easier. UPnP standards also allow you to use many programs (like instant messaging programs and multiplayer games) on your network without having to go through a complicated configuration process.
