Dynamic DNS Settings
Some people advertise the IP addresses of their routers so that Internet users can access these
routers (which is actually to access virtual servers behind these routers) using these IP addresses.
However, for those routers that are assigned dynamic IP addresses from the ISP, this approach
requires additional work (since the addresses assigned are not always the same).
The 802.11a/g Router implements the dynamic DNS feature so that each time it is booted, it will
re-register its domain-name-to-IP-address mapping with the dynamic DNS server you use
(currently only DynDNS.org is supported), the service provider that provides domain name to IP
address mapping. This is so that you can advertise your router by providing your domain name,
while Internet users can access the router using the domain name, not the router’s IP address.
To activate this feature, you need to check the “Enable Dynamic DNS Client using
DynDNS.org” box first, and then configure the following parameters:
Hostname: the hostname (domain name) registered with DynDNS.org by you.
Username: the username required to log in to the domain name server maintained by
DynDNS.org.
