Dynamic DNS

To access the Dynamic DNS page, click on the Advanced menu link at the top, and then click on the Dynamic DNS menu link on the left.
On this page the user can configure services related to the Dynamic DNS feature of
this product.
he device supports dynamic domain name service (DDNS). The dynamic DNS
service allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name
in any of the many domains, and allows access to a specified host from various
locations on the Internet. Click a hyperlinked URL in the form of hostname.dyndns.org
and allow remote access to a host. Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using
DHCP, so locating a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS is difficult. For
example, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS
ensures that the host can be located from the Internet even if the public IP address
changes. DDNS requires that an account be set up with one of the supported DDNS
service providers (DyndDNS.org or dlinkddns.com).
