Enable NAT

: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system

where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet

access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.

The private IP address of each network client is saved in a NAT

table and is used to route incoming data packets.

Enable UPnP

: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several

devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game

consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-based

network with or without a central control through a gateway.

UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless

network for remote conﬁguration and data transfer. Using

UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically.

Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely

conﬁgured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming,

video conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port

forwarding, which involves manually conﬁguring port

settings, UPnP automatically conﬁgures the router to accept

incoming connections and direct requests to a speciﬁc PC on

the local network.

Connect to DNS Server

: Allows this router to get the DNS

IP address from the ISP automatically. A DNS is a host on

the Internet that translates Internet names to numeric IP

addresses.

Authentication

: This item may be speciﬁed by some ISPs.

Check with your ISP and ﬁll them in if required.

Host Name

: This ﬁeld allows you to provide a host name for

your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP.

If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the

host name here.
