Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing
users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to 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 fromtime
to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by
your ISP.
Click
Add
to add dynamic DNS.
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example
Dynamic DNS Server:
Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Interface:

Hostname, Username and Password:

The frequency band of ADSL is split up into 256 separate tones, each spaced 4.3125 kHz apart.
With each tone carrying separate data, the technique operates as if 256 separate modems were
running in parallel. The tone range is from 0 to 31 for upstream and from 32 to 255 for
downstream
