DNS SETUP
The DNS feature is designed for resolving the DNS host name into IPs. Unless you want the router query the specific DNS servers; otherwise, you
can leave the setting as obtain DNS server address automatically.
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc...) using a domain name that you have purchased (for example:
www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing)
IP addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can enter your host name to connect to your game server and your friends do
n’t mind
what your IP address is, and then just type the DDNS name to reach. You can subscribe the free D-Link DDNS service from
https://www.dlinkddns.com.
