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 AP. For example, a device cannot control
port forwarding on the AP.
6. Enter the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the AP broadcasts its UPnP information.
This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes.
Shorter durations ensure that control points detect 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.
7. Enter 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.
8. Click the Apply button.
If the AP is in router mode, the UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each
UPnP device that is accessing the AP 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.
9. If the AP is in router mode, to refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap table,
click the Refresh button.
Change the priority for a connected device
[router mode]
If the AP is in router mode and you enabled QoS (Enable QoS and automatically set the
Internet bandwidth on page 105 or Enable QoS and manually set the Internet bandwidth
on page 106), the AP automatically assigns a priority to any device that connects to it. By
default, an attached device receives a medium priority. However, the device with which
you connect to the local browser UI of the AP receives a high priority. You can change
