Routing
By providing the TX54 device with the domain name and credentials obtained from a dynamic DNS
provider, the router can automatically update the remote nameserver whenever your WAN or public
IP address changes.
Your TX54 device supports a number of Dynamic DNS providers as well as the ability to provide a
custom provider that is not included on the list of providers.
