Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface Enabling/Disabling UPnP UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router's firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically "telling" the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select "Enable" in the "UPnP Enabling" section of the "Utilities" page. Click "Apply Changes" to save the change.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature
offered by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless
operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other
applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the
Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly.
This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some
instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant
has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the
Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships
with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that
are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features,
you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP
Enabling” section of the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to
save the change.
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you
that the new firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s
advanced interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new
firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to
download the new version or ignore it.
