User Manual
durations ensure that control points receive current device status at the expense of more
network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status but
can significantly reduce network traffic.

Type the advertisement time to live 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. The number of hops can range from 1 to
255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for
most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached
correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.

Click the Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the
router and which ports (internal and external) that device opened. The UPnP Portmap Table
also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service
Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes WiFi voice and video traffic over the
WiFi link. WMM QoS is automatically enabled for the router.
WMM QoS prioritizes WiFi data packets from different applications based on four access
categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits
of WMM QoS, WMM must be enabled for both it and the client running that application. Legacy
applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to
the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.
Note: We recommend that you do not disable the WMM settings. If you disable the WMM
settings for 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, the maximum link rate your router can reach is 54 Mbps.
To disable the WMM settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router
network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
