When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of all WAN
connections’ default IP address will be forwarded.
Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. Enable these features only if
you trust the computers connected to a LAN port or WiFi AP.
When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under these two protocols
can be found at
Status>UPnP / NAT-PMP
.
In the example above, the UPnP device is running. When the UPnP device is disconnected, the
router will suspend the service and incoming traffic will be dropped (without error/notification
message). The UPnP rule will remain for an interval after the UPnP device is disconnected before
being removed.

internal client IP address. Settings to configure NAT mappings are located at
