Nighthawk WiFi 7 Tri-Band Router Model RS700 If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging, keep UPnP enabled, which is its default setting. To enable or disable Universal Plug and Play: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window displays. 3. Enter the router admin user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP. The UPnP page displays. 5. Select the Turn UPnP On check box. By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can be enabled or disabled. If you clear the Turn UPnP On check box, the router does not allow any device to automatically control router resources, such as port forwarding. 6. In the Advertisement Period field, type 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 receive 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. In the Advertisement Time to Live field, type 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, you might need to increase this value. 8. Click the Apply button. Optimize Performance 121 User Manual
