Dynamic DNS 
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users 
whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for 
hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your 
domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This 
dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP. 
 
 
 
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website, 
for example http://www.dyndns.org/ 
There are more than 5 DDNS services supported.   
  Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function. 
  Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The following fields will be activated and 
required: 
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with. 
Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username and 
password for this service. 
Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS 
server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when 
your dynamic IP address changes.
