The 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 hyperlinked URL in the form “hostname.dyndns.org”. Many

ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, 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.
