Dynamic DNS
The Wireless Broadband 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 hyper linked 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 menu
Please note that DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS
servers prior to engaging it on the router. This function will not work without an accepted account
with a DDNS server. Enter the required DDNS information and click Apply to set this information
in the router.
NOTE: DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS servers
prior to engaging it on the router. This function will not work without an accepted account
