Note: When accessing your WGX102 from the Internet, type your range extender's WAN IP
address into your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box, followed by a colon (:)
and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use
port number 8080, you must enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.
Configuring Universal Plug and Play (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.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click UPnP. Set up UPnP
according to the guidelines below.
Figure 8-9. UPnP menu
Turn UPnP On: UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default
setting for UPnP is disabled. If disabled, the range extender does not allow any device to
automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the range extender.
Note: If you use applications such as multi-player gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you
should enable UPnP.
