The reminder as regards concern about Firewall and UPnP

Can't work with Firewall Software

Enabling firewall applications on your PC may cause the UPnP function not working

properly. This is because these applications will block the accessing ability of some

network ports.

Security Considerations

Activating the UPnP function on your network may incur some security threats. You

should consider carefully these risks before activating the UPnP function.

¾ Some Microsoft operating systems have found out the UPnP weaknesses and hence

you need to ensure that you have applied the latest service packs and patches.

¾ Non-privileged users can control some router functions, including removing and

adding port mappings.

The UPnP function dynamically adds port mappings on behalf of some UPnP-aware

applications. When the applications terminate abnormally, these mappings may not be

removed.

A PC client on LAN can be woken up by the router it connects. When a user wants to wake

up a specified PC through the router, he/she must type correct MAC address of the specified

PC on this web page of Wake on LAN of this router.

In addition, such PC must have installed a network card supporting WOL function. By the

way, WOL function must be set as “Enable” on the BIOS setting.
