Dynamic DNS 
The Router supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public 
IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, allowing access to a specified 
host from various locations on the Internet. This is enabled to allow remote access to a host by clicking a 
hyperlinked URL in the form 
hostname.dyndns.org
, Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, and this 
can make it difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using standard DNS. If for example you are running a 
public web server or VPN server on your LAN, this ensures that the host can be located from the Internet if the 
public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS providers. 
 
 
Dynamic DNS Configuration window 
Note: DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS servers prior to engaging it on

Enter the required DDNS information and click Apply to set this information in the Router.
