Reference Guide for the Model RT311 and RT314 Internet Access Gateway Routers

5-2 Advanced Configuration of the Router

Dynamic DNS

Your router supports Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). In a Dynamic DNS service, an IP

registry server provides a public central database where dynamically-assigned IP addresses can be

stored and retrieved by hostname lookup. The Dynamic DNS server also stores

password-protected e-mail addresses along with IP addresses and hostnames and accepts queries

based on e-mail addresses.

To utilize this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider, who will give

you a password or key. At this time, the Model RT311 and RT314 routers only support DynDNS

service. For more information, visit www.dyndns.org.

The configuration fields for Dynamic DNS are shown in Table 5-1:

Password

Select the Password tab to change your router’s management password. This is the password to

access the router for configuration, not for Internet access. To change the password, first enter the

old password, and then enter the new password twice.
