address changes, your modem router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service

Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your modem router. Under usual
circumstances, the modem router has adequate routing information after it has been
configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You
have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple modem routers or
multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
•
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
•
You have an ISDN modem router on your home network for connecting to the company
where you are employed. This modem router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
•
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
