 AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router—Essentials Edition Model D6100
Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and 
Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers 
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can 
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time 
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance, keep UPnP enabled, 
which it is by default.
To manage Universal Plug and Play:
1. 
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the 
network.
2. 
Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login screen displays.
3. 
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
4. 
Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
5. 
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP
The UPnP screen displays. 
6. 
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 the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the modem router does 
not allow any device to automatically control router resources, such as port forwarding.
7. 
Enter the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the modem 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 detect 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.
8. 
Enter 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.
