Management: Dynamic DNS Settings
The Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a method to keep a web domain name, or web address, linked
to a changing IP address as most Internet Providers do not provide static IP addresses.
To use DDNS, you must first set up an account with a DDNS provider. The Router supports two of these
providers (TZO and DynDNS). Once the DDNS service has been set up and configured correctly on the Router,
the DDNS service will constantly track the IP address of your Internet connection. Each time your Internet
Provider changes your IP address, the Router will inform the DDNS service and the DDNS service will update
your new IP address. The DDNS web domain that you have chosen to use will then be updated to redirect to
your new Internet IP address.
The DDNS service makes it so you never have to
check or remember your Internet IP address. This
feature is typically used for users running servers,
network cameras and other devices that require
remote access.
