Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your
Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice
messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-
compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a
specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP
ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-
compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the
Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the
UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-
compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the
UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the
“Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to automatically check for a new
version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware is available. When you log into the
Router’s advanced interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If
so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it.
