During this step, Windows Home Server 2011 attempts to automatically configure your router by using UPnP commands. To do this, your router must support UPnP standards, and the UPnP setting must be enabled on your router.

Note

Your network configuration should follow the supported network requirements for Windows Home Server 2011. There should be only one router on your network. For more information about setting up your Windows Home Server 2011 network, see Get Started.

If the router is not set up by the wizard, you must manually forward port 443. For information about how to set up your router, see Windows Home Server: Router Setup (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/windows-home-server-router-setup.aspx).
