Configuring Static Routes - NETGEAR RangeMax WPN824 Reference Manual

The router contains a client that can connect to many popular dynamic DNS services. You can
select one of these services and obtain an account with them. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned
IP address changes, your router will automatically contact your dynamic DNS service provider,
log in to your account, and register your new IP address.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Dynamic DNS. To
configure Dynamic DNS:
Register for an account with one of the dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear
1.
in the 'Select Service Provider' box. For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.
Select the Use a dynamic DNS service check box.
2.
Select the name of your dynamic DNS Service Provider.
3.
Type the Host Name (or domain name) that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
4.
Type the User Name for your dynamic DNS account.
5.
Type the Password (or key) for your dynamic DNS account.
6.

select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same

Configuring Static Routes

Static Routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances,
the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and
you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for
unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Routes to view the
Static Route menu, shown below.
