Enabled. Remote Administration allows you to manage the Router from a remote location via the Internet. To
enable Remote Administration, select Enabled. Enter the Administration Port number you will use to remotely
access the Router.
UPnP. UPnP allows Windows XP to automatically configure the Gateway for various Internet applications, such as

To allow users to disable Internet access, select Enabled.
