Enable or disable UPnP from the
web user interface
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices 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.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging, enable UPnP.
When UPnP is disabled, the router does not allow any device to automatically control
router resources, such as port forwarding.
To disable or re-enable UPnP from the web user interface:
1. From the web user interface dashboard, select Settings > Advanced > Other.
The Other page displays.
2. In the UPnP section, select the Enable check box to enable UPnP, or clear the check
box to disable it.
UPnP is disabled by default.
3. (Optional) If you enabled UPnP, select a UPnP IGD Version from the menu.
This setting typically does not need to be changed unless a specific application or
device requires it.
4. Click or tap Apply.
Your settings are saved.
Configure a DMZ server from the
web user interface
In a demilitarized zone (DMZ) network configuration, a computer runs outside the firewall
in the DMZ. This computer intercepts incoming Internet traffic, providing an extra layer
of protection for the rest of the network and sending all incoming data to a particular
IP address.
To configure a DMZ server from the web user interface:
1. From the web user interface dashboard, select Settings > Advanced > Other.
