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.
