Verizon 4G LTE Broadband Router
Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps Internet appliances and computers access the
network and connect to other computers, smartphones, tablets or consoles 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, you should enable UPnP.
 To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1. Sign in to the web user interface.
2. From the main menu, select Router Settings >
Advanced > UPnP.
3. Select Turn UPnP On.
This check box is selected as a default setting. UPnP for automatic computer,
smartphone, tablet, or console configuration can be enabled or disabled. If the
Turn
UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does not let any electronics automatically
control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router
.
4. Enter an amount in the Advertisement Period field (in minutes).
The advertisement period specifies how often the router broadcasts its UPnP information.
This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes, with a default period of 30 minutes.
• Shorter durations ensure that control points have the current status at the expense of
more network traffic.
• Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the status, but can significantly
reduce network traffic.
5. Enter an amount in the Advertisement Time to Live field (in hops).
