Dynamic DNS
Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each
Internet account. Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the IP
address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your network
remotely, but most people don't know what their IP addresses are or when this number
changes.
To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service that lets
you use a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you must set up
the gateway to use Dynamic DNS. Then the gateway notifies the Dynamic DNS service
provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS account,
the service finds the current IP address of your home network and automatically connects
you.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
Specify a DNS Account
To set up Dynamic DNS in the gateway:

Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type http:/192.168.254.254.
A login window opens.
