N300 WiFi Cable Modem Router Model C3000
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),
enable UPnP.
To enable Universal Plug and Play:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. T
ype http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin.
The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4. Select ADV
ANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP.
5. Select the Turn UPnP On check box.
By default, this check box is selected. If the T
urn UPnP On check box is cleared, the
modem router does not allow any device to automatically control modem router resources,
such as port forwarding.
6. T
ype the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the modem router 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 can compromise the freshness of the
device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.
7. T
ype the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers.
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.
8. Click the Apply button.
