Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature

offered by your Belkin Router° It is a technology that offers seamless

operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other

applications that are UPnP-compliant° Some applications require

the Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate

properly° This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in

some instances, setting trigger ports° An application that is UPnP-

compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically

“telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured° The

Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled° If you are using any

applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of

the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature° Simply select

“Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the “Utilities” page° Click

“Apply Changes” to save the change°

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to

automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you

that the new firmware is available° When you log into the Router’s

advanced interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new

firmware is available° If so, you will be notified° You can choose to

download the new version or ignore it°
