DDNS Server: The WR850 supports a feature called Dynamic Domain Name
System (DDNS), which enables you to assign a fixed host and
(ADVANCED)
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address (e.g., an IP address
assigned to the WR850 through DHCP).
DDNS is particularly useful if you are hosting your own web server,
FTP server, or other type of server behind the router, so that visitors
can locate your service with a consistent name.
Before you can use this feature, you must sign up for DDNS service
at a DDNS service provider, such as
www.changeip.com.
Once you have signed up, you can enable the feature by selecting
the appropriate DDNS service provider.
