How do I configure UPnP™ on my DIR Series router?

This FAQ is for the DIR and DGL router series.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows discovery of UPnP enabled devices in a network environment. UPnP is only available on Windows Me, XP and Windows Vista. If you are not using either operating system on any of your computers, or do not want to use UPnP, then it is recommended to disable UPnP on the router.

Step 3: Click on the Advanced tab at the top and then click on Advanced Network on the left-hand side.

Step 4: Under the UPnP Settings section, check-mark the Enabled UPnP buttons to enable UPnP on the wireless router, or uncheck it to Disabled it.
