Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and
Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance, keep UPnP enabled,
which it is by default.
To manage Universal Plug and Play:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is

. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.

button.

ADVANCED > Advanced Setup >
UPnP
.
The UPnP screen displays.
6.
Select the

check box.
By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can be
enabled or disabled. If the
Turn UPnP
On check box is cleared, the modem router does

7.
Enter the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the modem router broadcasts its UPnP
information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is
30
minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points detect current device status at
the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of
the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.
8.
Enter the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should
be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or
reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.
9.
Click the
Apply
button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing
the modem router and which ports (internal and external) that device opened. The UPnP
Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active
for each IP address.
To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap table, click the
Refresh
button.
