Field Meaning
UPnP
Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware
that anyone could use a UPnP application to open
the web configurator's login screen without entering
the WEBSHARE Wireless ROUTER ADSL2+ IP
address
Auto-Configured
Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled
applications to automatically configure the
WEBSHARE Wireless ROUTER ADSL2+ so that
they can communicate through the WEBSHARE
Wireless ROUTER ADSL2+, for example by using
NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically
reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to
communicate with another UPnP enabled device;
this eliminates the need to manually configure port
forwarding for the UPnP enabled application
8.5 DDNS
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static
hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to
use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL
connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain
name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from
time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which
is assigned to you by your ISP.
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS
provider using their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
