Dynamic DNS
Learn about Dynamic DNS (DDNS), a service that lets you access your gateway by using a host
name or domain.
A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service provides a central public database where information (such as e-
mail addresses, host names, and IP addresses) can be stored and retrieved. The Dynamic DNS
server also stores password-protected information and accepts queries based on e-mail addresses.
If you want to use a DDNS service, you must register for it. The Dynamic DNS client service provider
will give you a password or key.
Note: The gateway supports only basic DDNS, and the login and password might not be secure. If
you have a private WAN IP address, do not use DDNS service as it can lead to problems
To set up DDNS:
1. On a computer or wireless device that is connected to your gateway, launch a Web browser.
2. In the address or URL field of your browser, type http://myrouter.
3. When prompted to log in, enter admin for the user name and type the password. (The default
password is password.)
4. Click Security > Dynamic DNS.
5. If you have registered with a DDNS service provider, select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service
check box.
