Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515LVW
UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
1. Log in to the router as described in Log In to Your Router on page 17.
2. From the main menu, select Adv
anced > UPnP.
3. Specify the following settings:
• Turn UPnP On.
UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If this feature is disabled, the router does not
allow any device to control the resources automatically, such as port forwarding
(mapping), of the router.
• Advertisement Period. Th
e advertisement period is how often the router advertises
(broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The
default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current
device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations might
compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
• Advertisement T
ime To Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in
hops for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of steps
allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number
of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is
4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices
are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this
value a little.
• UPnP Portmap Table. T
he UPnP Portmap table displays the IP address of each
UPnP device that is accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that
device has opened.
4. Click Refr
esh to update the Portmap table and to show the active ports that are opened by
UPnP devices.
5. Click Apply to save
the new settings to the router.
