Chapter 4:
The Services top‐level tab contains the configuration
pages for Dynamic DNS, Hotspot, and Discovery.
4.1 Dynamic DNS
The domain name system (DNS) translates a URL like
www.yahoo.com to an IP address like 206.190.36.45.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows the with the public IP
address to be reached from the internet via a URL
even if its IP address is dynamically changing.
Figure 32: The Services → Dynamic DNS page.
Enable: Enables the dynamic DNS.
Event interface: Chooses the interface, e.g. LAN or
WAN, for which "interface up" would run the DDNS
script process.

4.2 Hotspot
The Hotspot service allows you to control the access
and usage of the Internet by connected devices.
4.2.1 Setting up the Connections
The following subsections contain advice on
configuring the 2.4 GHz radio to implement the
hotspot. It is recommended to configure the LAN,
Wifi, and WAN, then test it before enabling the
hotspot setting.
LAN Interface: DHCP Server
It is recommended to enable the DHCP server,
because network address translation (NAT) occurs
between the WAN zone and the LAN zone. To do this,
you may go to the Network → Interfaces → LAN (Edit)
→ Physical Settings → DHCP Server section, then
uncheck the option Ignore interface (Disable DHCP for
this interface).
Devices or computers that connect to the hotspot
radio can then obtain their IP addresses automatically.
In addition, the default gateway IP address and the
DNS server IP address are automatically configured
for these connected devices.
