Dynamic DNS
If your Internet provider 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 Internet provider 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 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 router. Then, whenever your Internet provider-assigned IP
address changes, your 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 router at http://hostname.dyndns.org.
To set up Dynamic DNS:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
In the address field of the web browser, enter
www.routerlogin.net
or
www.routerlogin.com
.
