Allow/deny multicast streaming

Management > Remote Management
In some cases, applications require multicast communication (also called IP multicast
which is the delivery of information to a specific group of computers or devices in a
single transmission) typically used in media streaming applications. Multicast streaming
is enabled by default on your router to allow applications that require multicast
communication through your router which typically does not require additional
configuration changes.
1. Log into your router management page (see "Access your router management page"
on page 27).
2. Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.
3. Next to Multicast Stream, click Enabled or Disabled to turn the feature on or off on
your router.
Note: It is recommended to leave this setting enabled.
4. To save changes, click Apply.

Identify your network on the Internet

Main > Dynamic DNS
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on
your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet
requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this
management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the
given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability
to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your
ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify
your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and
other devices on your local area network.
