menu to enable or disable UPnP and multicast streaming.
UPnP
or Universal Plug and Play is disabled by default. This network protocol is
used to simplify networking and is supported on many types of networking devices.
Devices that support UPnP advertise their services and capabilities to other UPnP
enabled devices to facilitate network applications such as streaming audio or video.
To use UPnP, tick the
Enable UPnP
check box.
Multicast streaming support is enabled by default to allow streaming of audio
and video and other multicast applications to pass through the Router. To disable
multicast streams, click the
Enable Multicast Streams
check box to remove the
tick. Keep in mind that Internet radio and similar multicast services will not function
if the Enable Multicast Streams option is not ticked.
