7. Type 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 is 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.
8. Click the Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is
accessing the modem router and which ports (internal and external) that device
opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and
whether that port is still active for each IP address.
To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap Table, click the Refresh button.
