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.

significantly reduces service calls and returns by

allowing users to easily troubleshoot their cable

connections.
