Dynamic DNS

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 to register your domain to their IP address,

and forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.

The router contains a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. To use this

feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have

configured your account information in the router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address

changes, your router will automatically contact your Dynamic DNS service provider, log in to

your account, and register your new IP address.

Configuring Dynamic DNS

WARNING!

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.

1. From the main menu, select Dynamic DNS to display the Dynamic DNS screen:

2. Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in

the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account.

For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.

3. Select the Use a

Dynamic DNS Service check box.

4. Select the name of your

dynamic DNS service provider.

5. Fill in the Host Name, Us

er Name, and Password fields.

The dynamic DNS service provider may call the host name a domain name. If your URL

is myName

.dyndns.org, then your host name is myName. The password can be a key for

your dynamic DNS account.
