5.3.7 Time Schedule
The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots which helps you to manage your Internet
connection.
In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through
Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications.
This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real
time clock on board; it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current
time from an SNTP server from the Internet. Refer to
Time Zone
for details.
You router
time should correspond with your local time.
If the time is not set correctly, your Time
Schedule will not function properly.
Name:
A user-define description to identify this time portfolio.
Day:
The default is set from Sunday through Saturday. You may specify the days for the
schedule to be applied.

Represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not
be precise, but it must be between 0 and 65535.
5.3.8.2 Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if
your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still 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 first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using
