HOME USER FEATURES : UPnP Configuration
The presence of Network Address Translation can complicate the setup of many
compelling new home PC networking experiences like multi-player games, real-time
communications, and other peer-to-peer services. These applications run into hiccups
when they try to use a private IP address on the public Internet or attempt simultaneous
use of the same port number. The router supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) so that
you may enjoy the benefits of NAT without having to worry about elaborate configuration
procedures. Through an UPnP-aware operating system like Windows XP, the router can be
recognized through its Ethernet connection so that other UPnP-enabled devices and
applications can negotiate to open certain ports to traverse the NAT Router device.
