UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and host devices,
to access the local network and connect to other devices as needed. You can enable UPnP
if you want to use multiplayer gaming, real-time communication, or peer-to-peer
connection.
UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices
on the local network. To enable UPnP, on Web Management, go to
Main menu >
Advanced >UPnP
and toggle on
UPnP

When UPnP is enabled, devices/applications may dynamically add themselves to a network
