Manage Dynamic DNS and Access Storage
Devices Through the Internet
With Dynamic DNS, you can use the Internet and a personal domain name to access a USB storage device
that is attached to a USB port on the
modem router
when you are not home. If you know the IP address of
the
modem router
(and the IP address did not change), you can also access the USB storage device by using
the IP address.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•
Set Up and Manage Dynamic DNS
on page 193
•
Access Storage Devices Through the Internet
on page 197
For information about how to connect the device and specify its settings, see
Share a
Storage Device
on page 173.

Set Up and Manage Dynamic DNS
Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each Internet account.
Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the IP address can change at any
time.You can use the IP address to access your network remotely, but most people do not know what
their IP address is or when this address changes.
To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service that lets you use
a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you must set up the
modem router
to use Dynamic DNS. Then the
modem router
notifies the Dynamic DNS service provider whenever its
IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS account, the service finds the current IP
address of your home network and automatically connects you.
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 Personal FTP Server
With your customized free URL, you can use FTP to access your network when you are not home through
Dynamic DNS. To set up your FTP server, you must register for a NETGEAR Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
service account and specify the account settings (see
Set Up a New Dynamic DNS Account
on page 194).
To set up your personal account and use FTP:
1.
Get your NETGEAR Dynamic DNS domain name.
For more information, see
Set Up a New Dynamic DNS Account
on page 194.
2.
Make sure that your Internet connection is working.
Your
modem router
must use a direct Internet connection. It cannot connect to a different router to
access the Internet.
3.
Connect a USB storage device to one of the USB ports of the
modem router
.
4.
Set up FTP access on the
modem router
.
For more information, see
Set Up FTP Access Through the Internet
on page 198.
5.
On a remote computer with Internet access, you can use FTP to access your
modem router
using
ftp://
yourname
.mynetgear.com, in which
yourname
is your specific domain name.
For more information, see
Use FTP to Access Storage Devices Through the Internet
on page 200.
