Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
to 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.
Note:
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, or real-time communications such as instant
messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you
should enable UPnP.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup >
UPnP
.
2.
Configure the following settings:
•
Turn UPnP On
.
Enable or disable automatic device configuration. The default setting
for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the WiFi DSL modem router
does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port
forwarding (mapping), of the WiFi DSL modem router.
•
Advertisement Period
.
The advertisement period is how often the WiFi DSL 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 have
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.

•
Advertisement Time to Live
.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in
hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of
steps a broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement
before it disappears. 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.
•
UPnP Portmap Table
.
The UPnP Portmap table displays the IP address of each
UPnP device that is accessing the WiFi DSL modem router and which ports (internal
and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap table also displays what
type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.

IPv6
You can use this feature to set up an IPv6 Internet connection type if NETGEAR genie does
not detect it automatically.
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection type:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6
.
2.
Select the IPv6 connection type from the list. Your Internet service provider (ISP) can provide
this information.
•
If your ISP did not provide details, select
IPv6 Tunnel
.
•
If you are not sure and want to have the WiFi DSL modem router detect the IPv6 type
that is in use, select
Auto Detect
.

Device Mode
When the WiFi DSL modem router is in Router mode, this screen allows switching to Modem
mode, where the WiFi DSL modem router acts as a pure bridge or DSL modem.
Routing, firewall, wireless support, USB, and the traffic meter are not available in Modem
mode. A typical application is a small-to-medium business scenario where the WiFi DSL
modem router is used for DSL connectivity behind a carrier class router or firewall or security
device manager. When the WiFi DSL modem router is in Modem mode, this screen allows
switching back to Router mode with all of the standard features.
To switch the device mode:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Device Mode
.
2.
From the Device Mode list, select
Router (Modem + Router)
or
Modem (Modem only)
.
3.
Click
Apply
.
VPN Policies
Manage your VPN policies from the VPN Policies screen.
•
Traffic covered by a policy is automatically sent through a VPN tunnel.
•
Where traffic is covered by two or more policies, the first matching policy is used. In this
situation, the order of the policies is important. However, if you only have one policy for
each remote VPN endpoint, the policy order is not important.
•
The VPN tunnel is created according to the parameters in the SA (security association).
•
The remote VPN endpoint must have a matching SA, or else it refuses the connection.
