Using a Dynamic DNS Service

If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have

that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your

Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your

IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial

dynamic DNS service which will allow you to register your domain to their IP address, and will

forward traffic directed at your domain to whatever your current IP address happens to be.

The router contains a client that can connect to many popular dynamic DNS services. You can

select one of these services and obtain an account with them. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned

IP address changes, your router will automatically contact your dynamic DNS service provider,

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Dynamic DNS.

Note: If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x),

the dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on

the Internet.
