3.6.10.2 UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly an automatically when it is no longer in use. UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.

How do I know if I'm using UPnP?

UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (in Windows XP & Windows ME). Each UPnP-compatible device that is installed on your network will appear as a separate icon.

Click “Enable” to enable UPnP function and select the WAN Interface. Click “Apply Changes” to apply your setting.

Note: Please Commit/Reboot if you want to make this settings effective immediately
