The files and folders that your account can access on this USB device display. For example, you might
see share/partition1/directory1.

Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each Internet account.
Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the IP address can change at any
time. You can use the IP address to access your network remotely, but most people don’t know what their
IP addresses are or when this number changes.

To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service that lets you use
a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you must set up the router to use
Dynamic DNS. Then the router notifies the Dynamic DNS service provider whenever its IP address
changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS account, the service finds the current IP address of your
home network and automatically connects you.

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic DNS service
does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

With your customized free URL, you can use FTP to access your network when you aren’t home through
Dynamic DNS. To set up your FTP server, you must register for a NETGEAR Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
service account and specify the account settings. See
