Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system

where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet

access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.

The private IP address of each network client is saved in a NAT

table and is used to route incoming data packets.

Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several

devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game

consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-based

network with or without a central control through a gateway.

UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless

network for remote conguration and data transfer. Using

UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically.

Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely

congured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming,

video conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port

forwarding, which involves manually conguring port

settings, UPnP automatically congures the router to accept

incoming connections and direct requests to a specic PC on

the local network.

Connect to DNS Server: Allows this router to get the DNS

IP address from the ISP automatically. A DNS is a host on

the Internet that translates Internet names to numeric IP

addresses.

Authentication: This item may be specied by some ISPs.

Check with your ISP and ll them in if required.

Host Name: This eld allows you to provide a host name for

your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP.

If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the

host name here.
