How to configure UPnP
What is UPnP? UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows devices connected
to a network to discover each other and automatically create working
configurations. Examples of UPnP-capable devices include web cameras,
online gaming applications, and VoIP devices. UPnP is enabled by default.
To configure UPnP:
Administration > Management
1.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility on page 25).
2.
Click the Administration tab, then click the Management page.
3.
To use UPnP, select Enabled (default) next to UPnP. Otherwise, select
Disabled.
4.
To allow changing router settings while using UPnP, select Enabled
(default) next to Allow Users to Configure. Otherwise, select Disabled.
5.
To prevent local network users from disabling your Internet connection
through UPnP, select Disabled (default) next to Allow Users to Disable
Internet Access. Otherwise, select Enabled.
How to use a router as an access point
How can I use this new router as an access point? If you have a large area to
cover with your wireless signal, or if part of your home has weak signals due to
interference, you can use this router to extend the range of your old router’s
wireless network.
To set up your new router as an access point:
Setup > Basic Setup
1.
Use a network cable to connect this router’s Internet port to the Ethernet
or LAN port on the router that is connected to your modem.
2.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility on page 25).
3.
Click the Setup tab, then click the Basic Setup page.
4.
For Internet Connection Type, select Bridge Mode.
5.
Click Save Settings to apply the changes. The new router’s LAN IPaddress
will be changed and obtained from the router that is connected to your
modem.
IMPORTANT
While in Bridge Mode, the following browser-based utility pages
will be unavailable:
Setup tab: IPv6 Setup, DDNS, MAC Address Clone, Advanced
Routing
Security tab: all pages
Access Restrictions tab: all pages
Applications & Gaming tab: all pages
Administration tab: Log
How can I use my old router as an access point? If you have a large area to
cover with your wireless signal, or if part of your home has weak signals due to
interference, you can use your old router to extend the range of your wireless
network. This is a complex process, so this procedure assumes that you have
some networking knowledge.
TIP
Check the documentation for your old router. Some brands of
routers include either a switch on the outside of the case or a
software option to convert it to an access point. If either of these
options is available, follow your old router’s instructions to convert
it to an access point.
You need to take note of your new routers settings, then apply some of those
settings to the old router so it can work as an access point.
To view your new router’s settings:
Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings
Wireless > Wireless Security
Status > Wireless Network
Setup > Basic Setup
1.
Make sure that your new router is connected to the Internet.
2.
In the browser-based utility, click the Wireless tab
