Improve network connections with Universal Plug and Play [router mode] 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 the access point is in router mode and 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 in router mode. To manage Universal Plug and Play: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the access point network. 2. Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field. If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 27. A login window displays. If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on page 30. 3. Enter the access point local device password. The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password is case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP. The UPnP page displays. 5. Select the Turn UPnP On check box. By default, this check box is selected. You can disable or enable UPnP for automatic configuration. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, a device cannot automatically control the resources of the access point. For example, a device cannot control port forwarding on the access point. Optimize Performance 105 User Manual
