Advertisement Period
field (in minutes).

This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes, with a default period of 30 minutes.

Shorter durations ensure that control points have the current status at the expense of
more network traffic.
•
Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the status, but can significantly
reduce network traffic.

Enter an amount in the
Advertisement Time to Live
field (in hops).
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers, ranging from 1 to 255, with a
default value of four hops. If you notice that some computers, smartphones, tablets or
consoles are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase
this value.
