Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by
your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice
messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-
compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured
in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and
UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that
is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically
“telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router
ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that
are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you
can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling”
section of the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to automatically
check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware is
available. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface, the Router will
perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified.
You can choose to download the new version or ignore it.
