Optimize Performance

N300 WiFi Router

 To enable Universal Plug and Play:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

2. In the address field of the web browser

, enter www.routerlogin.net or

www.routerlogin.com.

A login screen displays.

3. Enter the router user name and password.

The user name is admin.

The default password is password. The user name and

password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home screen displays.

4. Select ADV

ANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP.

5. Select the Turn UPnP On check box.

By default, this check box is selected. If the T

urn UPnP On check box is cleared, the

router does not allow any device to automatically control router resources, such as port

forwarding.

6. T

ype the advertisement period in minutes.

The advertisement period specifies how often the router broadcasts its UPnP information.

This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes.

The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter

durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of more

network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status, but

can significantly reduce network traffic.

7. T

ype the advertisement time to live in hops.

The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet

sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers.

The number of hops can range

from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should

be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or

reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.

8. Click the Apply button.
