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 don’t know what their IP addresses are or when this number
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 router to use Dynamic DNS. Then the router notifies the Dynamic DNS service
provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS account,
Page 80 / 154

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 aren’t
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
80.
FTP Directory:
FTP: /‘custom name’.mynetgear.com

Figure 8. You can access your network through the Internet when you’re not home
Note:
The router supports only basic DDNS, and the login and password
might not be secure.
Set Up a New Dynamic DNS Account
To set up Dynamic DNS and register for a free NETGEAR account:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.

or
.
A login screen displays.
