Network Settings: Advanced Settings
These settings apply to the Local Network and your
Internet Connection Network. If you are not familiar
with these settings, please refer to a network
administrator to avoid putting your network at risk.
Enable uPnP: Universal Plug and Play is a network
feature that allows uPnP enabled devices to “just
work” with each other when connected to the same
network. UPnP can work across different network
media, such as an Ethernet connection or wireless
connection. With UPnP enabled, network devices may change security settings within the Router’s firewall to
allow access over the Internet. By default, UPnP is disabled to avoid exposing your network to security issues.
Enable IGMP Proxy: Internet Group Management Protocol is a communication protocol used by hosts and
routers on the network to establish multicast group memberships. IGMP Proxy is typically used to implement
multicast routing and commonly used when advanced protocols such as PIM is not suitable.
Enable Ping Access on WAN: Allows users to ping the WAN interface IP address from the Internet.
