5.6.3 DDNS
DDNS means Dynamic Domain Name System. The ISP often provides you with a dynamic
IP address when you connect to the Internet via your ISP. It means that the public IP
address assigned to your router changes each time you access the Internet. The Dynamic
DNS feature lets you assign a domain name to a dynamic WAN IP address. It allows the
router to update its online WAN IP address mappings on the specified Dynamic DNS server.
Once the router is online, you will be able to use the registered domain name to access the
router or internal virtual servers from the Internet. It is particularly helpful if you host a web
server, FTP server, or other server behind the router.
Before you user the Dynamic DNS feature, you have to apply for free DDNS service to the
DDNS service providers. The router provides up to three accounts from three different
DDNS service providers. This router supports two service providers: DynDNS and TZO.
You could choose to enable or disable DDNS function. If you enable DDNS, you need to
provide below information:
Service Provider:
choose one service provider where you have applied for free DDNS
service.
Domain Name:
type in the host name you registered from the DDNS provider.
User Name:
enter the User Name or Email you registered from the DDNS provider.
Password:
enter the Password or Key you set for the User Name.
