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 do not know
in advance what your IP address is, 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.
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 does not works because
private addresses not are routed on the Internet.
To configure Dynamic DNS:
1. From the main menu, select Advanced >
Dynamic DNS to display the Dyn
amic 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 th
e Use a Dyn
amic DNS Service check box.
4. Select the
name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.
5. Fill in the Host Name, User Name, and Password fields.
T
he Dynamic DNS service provider might call the host name a d
omain 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.
If your Dynamic DNS provider allows the
use
of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can
select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to t
he
same IP addre
ss as yourhost.dyndns.org.
6. Click App
