    Jeffrey Groves Feb 20, 2011

    Do you have the user manual?

  • Bryan Lutz Feb 20, 2011

    only the downloaded manual.

    It says to leave it at default but its not working. I am trying to use playon ( new android ap ) on my phone but it wont work unless I am at home unless I can get this UPnP to work on my router.

UPnP aka Universal Plug and Play

Universal Plug and Play allows Windows to automatically configure the Router for various Internet applications.

If you want to use UPnP, keep the default setting Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.

How to change to upnp

First, access the GUI of your router. Open browser and type 192.168.1.1, type admin for username and password or if you had change it before, use that username and password that you had set up. Once you see the Linksys GUI page, click on Administration on the upper right corner of the screen and click on management, from there you can edit the UPNP settings.

Trying to connect to xbox live. It says to change my MTU setting to 1364 or higher.Ima computer idiot. tried admin blank password that didn't work please help

User is blank (left empty), admin is the password (when the Linksys is in default factory condition). Find MTU and change to manual and set to 1500 for broadband. Also, according to linksys, uPNP may not be compatible, so you may want to turn that off. Go to this link on Linksys to get a step-by-step setup for linksys routers and Xbox live. Also, pay special attention to section ii about upgrading your firmware to the latest version.

Linksys wrt54gs changing upnp settings

Hi, you can enable UPnP on a Linksys WRT54GS router by logging in and then clicking on the Administration tab. The first sub-tab is Management, and at the bottom of that page there are buttons to enable or disable UPnP. Click Enable and then click Save Settings at the bottom of the screen.

And IF it is a router then Open The Ports

• TCP 80
• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074
• UDP 53
• TCP 53

And also make sure that UPnP is Enabled

Cant connect to the internet with linksys wrt160nv2

if this is DSL connection then you have to configure your modem before you connect router

follow this
first disabled wireless on your modem/router

.1) Turn off DHCP on your modem/router I am assuming this is verizon westell
2. Configure the first VC port to Bridge-Bridge mode
3. Keep hitting "apply" in the windows until the 7500 reboots
4. Plug the "Internet" port on the linksys to one of the normal ethernet ports on the modem /router
5. Turn on the Netgear and wait for the green Internet light to go solid

good luck if this does not work provide more info on your setup

BEFSR81 admin problem when enabled uPNP

I actually FOUND the solution at the linksys community forum site. It's weird, and I quote [kiefmoon], "I beat my head against this issue for the past few months, for the same reason as you: I'd built out a Windows Home Server, which can configure a home router automatically via UPnP, so I happily enabled it on the router, only to be locked out of the web-based configuration page.

Good news though! I just figured out the cause of the issue -- and it's really dumb:
You turn on UPnP on the Passwords tab, right? Well, if you look around on that page, you'll notice that, along with the option to enable UPnP, there are two password fields filled with asterisks. I think most people would assume that if they don't change anything in those fields, then click Apply, that the password has not been changed. And they'd be wrong. I don't know what the password gets changed to at that point, but it's not "admin".

...So the fix is: when you enable UPnP, do yourself a favor and enter a password in those fields (ideally something sronger than "admin" ). That way, you'll actually know what the password is when you get prompted for it."
