SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering) helps

to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that

the traffic passing through the session conforms to the protocol.

Enable this feature to protect your network from certain kinds of “spoofing”

attacks.

Check the enable UPnP box to allow the router to be detected by devices with

UPnP enabled. From your Windows computer the router will be displayed in your

network settings. Double-click the icon to access the web-based configuration

utility.

This feature also will allow clients on your network to automatically open ports

on the router so you do not have to manually open them (i.e., virtual server/port forwarding). If you disable UPnP, you may have

to manually open ports for certain applications and games in the Virtual Server or Port Forwarding sections. Please refer to the

application manufacturer for a list of ports needed.

Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol.

Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec. Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec through

NAT. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are having trouble connecting with your corporate network,

try turning this ALG off. Please check with the system administrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports

NAT traversal.

Allows application that uses Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the Internet. QuickTime and Real Player

are some of the common applications using this protocol.

Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have

the ability to discover NAT devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such devices. If you are

having trouble making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG off.
