How to enable/disable UPnP on your router
Management > Remote Management
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows devices connected to a network to
discover each other and automatically open the connections or services
for specific applications (e.g. instant messenger, online gaming
applications, etc.) UPnP is enabled on your router by default to allow
specific applications required by your computers or devices to allow
connections through your router as they are needed.
1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your
router management page” on page 11).
2. Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.
3. Next to UPnP, click Enabled or Disabled to turn the feature on or off
on your router.
Note: It is recommended to leave this setting enabled, otherwise, you
may encounter issues with applications that utilize UPnP in order allow
the required communication between your computers or devices and the
Internet.
4. To save changes, click Apply.
How to allow/deny VPN connections through your
router
Management > Remote Management
VPN (Virtual Private) Network) is a network that uses a public network,
such as the Internet, to provide secure communications between a
remote computer or network and another network. Some offices often
provide VPN access to their networks to enable employees to work their
remote office/home office, or while traveling.
If your office or place of work has allowed and authorized access for you
to access their network through VPN, the default VPN settings in your
router have been configured to pass through the most common types of
VPN protocols, which typically does not require any additional
configuration changes.
1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your
router management page” on page 11).
2. Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.
3. Next to PPTP, L2TP, or IPsec (depending the VPN protocol your
corporation requires) click Enabled or Disabled to turn the VPN pass
through feature on or off on your router.
Note: It is recommended to leave these settings enabled.
4. To save changes, click Apply.
