Configure the Router
Tips:
• UPnP is enabled by default in this router.
• Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.
• UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc.
Some of operating system need to install the UPnP components).
For example,
when you connect your Xbox to the router which is connected to the Internet
to play online games, UPnP will send request to the router to open the corresponding
ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit. Therefore, you can
play Xbox online games without a hitch.
