Universal Plug n' Play
(UPnP)
UPnP is a worldwide standard for simplifying network configuration.
It is used by tens of millions of people worldwide in gaming,
home security, streaming services and the growing
list of Internet-of-Things (IOT) devices in your home.
Your enclayve device uses UPnP services.
However, UPnP capabilty can be disabled by home network installers,
and in that case it must be manually enabled.
Enabling UPnP is a common practice when
an Internet-enabled device is in your home.

"Double NAT" Setup
Mesh Network Guidance
"Double NAT" Setup
If the enclayve setup indicates you have a "double NAT",
it means that there are multiple routers in your home, typically called a "mesh network".
When selecting a WiFi network in the enclayve setup,
you must choose the network name (the SSID) of the WiFi router that has direct connection to your Internet Service Provider.
The picture below illustrates the proper WiFi network to choose:
(Note that your router devices may not look like the ones shown here)
If this is not physically possible, then the mesh router closest to your enclayve device must be programmed for "bridged mode". Consult your mesh network's manual for instructions to do so, or contact enclayve by email for support.

Enable UPnP
General Instructions
Most all routers have a similar process for enabling UPnP. Consult your router's manual or your service provider's support page.
NOTE: Router documentation can sometimes refer to this as 'Port Mapping' or 'Network Address Translation' or NAT or 'Internet of Things' or IOT.
In general, the following steps are common:
- Open your router or service provider's management interface, one of these:
- Web Interface. Open a browser to your router's IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1), or
- App. Open the app provided to you by your service provider or router manufacturer.
- Log in, using credentials or codes from your provider or printed on your device. Some routers have default credentials listed online (e.g. username:admin password:password).
- Go to a section called Advanced Settings or sometimes Firewall. Under those sections there is generally a UPnP tab or button to enable UPnP. In some cases this is known as IoT (Internet of Things)
- In some cases, you must also create a 'Port Mapping'. The enclayve App tells you exactly what you need to enter. The specific instructions above have details on how to do this for those cases.
- Save the changes and continue the setup in the enclayve App.
