• Router Password For greater security, you should set a password for the
Router. If you don’t set the password, all users on your network will be able
to access the Router using the default password admin. We recommend that
you change your password often.
• UPnP Services Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows systems, such as
Windows XP PCs to automatically configure the Router for various Internet
applications, such as gaming and videoconferencing. Click the radio button
next to Enable to enable UPnP Services, or Disable to disable UPnP
Services.
• Restore Factory Defaults If you select the Restore Factory Default option
and click the Apply button, you will clear all of the Router’s settings and
restore the default settings.
Do not restore the factory defaults unless you are having difficulties with the
Router and have exhausted all other troubleshooting measures. Once the Router
is reset, you will have to re-enter all of your configuration data.

tion.

mation.
