Set Up A New Dynamic Dns Account - NETGEAR Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX6000 User Manual

Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX6000 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX6000 Satellite Model SXS80
To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service
that lets you use a domain name instead of an IP address to access your business network.
To use this account, you must set up the router to use Dynamic DNS. The router then
notifies the Dynamic DNS service provider whenever its IP address changes. When you
access your Dynamic DNS account, the service finds the current IP address of your
business network and automatically connects you.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address, the Dynamic DNS service does not work
because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
