feature tick this checkbox. UPNP provides

some extra security from hackers. Tick this

checkbox to allow the WAN port to be “Pinged”.

You may set the port speed of the WAN port to

10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 10/100Mbps Auto. Some

older cable or DSL modems may require you to

set the port speed to 10Mbps.
