In the case of the router, UPnP allows certain applications running on the local network to automatically configure port forwarding rules to allow Internet computers to communicate with them. For example, a UPnP-enabled FTP server would automatically configure the router to forward port 21 to it, so computers on the Internet can reach your server.1. On the Advanced Setting screen, click the Additional Features icon.2. Click the Network UPnP tab:3. To enable UPnP, make sure the UPnP IGD (Internet Gateway Device) button is On (default.)4. Click Save.Enabling Port Forwarding On a private network, port forwarding maps Internet traffic coming into a specific port to a specific device on your LAN like a web server. Port forwarding is useful, for example, when you host a game to which others want to connect.
