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. 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. If you are using any
applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of
the UPnP features, do not worry, this Router ships with the UPnP feature
enabled as default setting. If you want to disable the UPnP feature, simply
select “Disable” in the “UPnP Enabling/Disabling” 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 Web-
Based Advanced User 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. The Router ships with this
feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click
“Apply Changes”.
