Advanced LAN

Use the

Advanced LAN

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.

Click the

Apply Settings

button to save and apply the advanced LAN configuration.

Settings

button in the

directory to display the

menu.

Click the

Save

button to Save Settings to Local Hard Drive. You will be prompted

to select a location on your computer to put the file.

To load a previously saved configuration file, click the

Browse

button and locate the

file on your computer. Click the

Update Settings

button to

Load Settings From

Local Hard Drive

. Confirm that you want to load the file when prompted and the

process is completed automatically. The Router will reboot and begin operating

with the configuration settings that have just been loaded.

To reset the Router to its factory default settings, click the

Restore Device

button.

You will be prompted to confirm your decision to reset the Router. The Router will

reboot with the factory default settings including IP address (
