Dynamic DNS
If your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can
register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain
Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP
address, you do not know in advance what your IP address is, and the address can change
frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. This type of service
lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain
to your frequently changing IP address.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
Your modem router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service that
DynDNS.org provided. First visit their website at
and obtain an
account and host name that you configure in the modem router. Then, whenever your
ISP-assigned IP address changes, your modem router automatically contacts the Dynamic
DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and registers your new IP address. If your host
name is hostname, for example, you can reach your modem router at
To set up Dynamic DNS:

Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.

Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and
Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),
enable UPnP.
To enable Universal Plug and Play:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or
.

Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP
.
5.
Select the
Turn UPnP On
check box.
By default, this check box is selected. If the
Turn UPnP On
check box is cleared, the
modem router does not allow any device to automatically control router resources, such
as port forwarding.
6.
Type the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the modem router broadcasts its UPnP
information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30
minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the
expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the
device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.
7.
Type the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should
be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or
reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.
8.
Click the
Apply
button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing
the modem router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The
UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still
active for each IP address.
9.
To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap Table, click the
Refresh
button.
