UPnP
UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play. UPnP service allows computers to discover and use
network-based devices. Windows ME and XP include native UPnP services; Windows 98 and
98SE do not include a native UPnP service, but you can install via the Internet Connection
Sharing client that ships with Windows XP.
Select Enable/Disable to enable this function or disable. Then click “Save & Restart” and the

After setting up my wireless router, I can not play on-line game
The Wireless Router uses Network Address Translation to issue several private (virtual) IPs
using one public IP address. Internet games communicate with each other based on IP addresses and
UDP port numbers. Unfortunately, some games will be affected when NAT is applied. Gamers
would not communicate with each other due to the side effect created by NAT. Such games and
applications are called NAT unfriendly applications. You can setup “Auto 2-Way Application” on
this router. Consult with your game vender for correct port setting.
If you want to host the Internet game for your parties to join it is better for you to set one
computer host that you are playing on to be a DMZ host. You will need to tell your parties to
join your game on the IP address of the WAN interface of the router device. Do not tell your
parties of the virtually local IP address assigned from the DHCP function of the router device
or you see in the game or the computer host.
If your Internet connection service is an ADSL PPPoE or cable modem connection, please check
the IP address of the WAN interface at every new Internet connections.
