Access the Device Using DDNS
If you connect your Device to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP address, it is inconvenient
for you to manage the device from the Internet. The Device’s WAN IP address changes dynamically.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows you to access the Device using a domain name.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org.
This tutorial covers:
Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
Configuring DDNS on Your Device
Testing the DDNS Setting
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use DDNS.
4.7.1
Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
1
Open a browser and type
.
2
Apply for a user account. This tutorial uses
UserName1
and
12345
as the username and
password.
3
Log into www.dyndns.org using your account.
4
Add a new DDNS host name. This tutorial uses the following settings as an example.
• Hostname:
zyxelrouter.dyndns.org
Service Type:
Host with IP address
IP Address: Enter the WAN IP address that your Device is currently using. You can find the IP
address on the Device’s Web Configurator
Status
page.
Then you will need to configure the same account and host name on the Device later.

Configuring the MAC Address Filter

downloading media files. He decided to prevent Josephine from accessing the Internet so that she
can concentrate on preparing for her final exams.

use the
Security > MAC Filter
screen to grant wireless network access to his computer but not to
Josephine’s computer.
