Dynamic DNS

Learn about Dynamic DNS (DDNS), a service that lets you access your gateway by using a host
name or domain.
A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service provides a central public database where information (such as
e-mail addresses, host names, and IP addresses) can be stored and retrieved. The Dynamic
DNS server also stores password-protected information and accepts queries based on e-mail
addresses.
If you want to use a DDNS service, you must register for it. The Dynamic DNS client service
provider will give you a password or key.
Note: The gateway supports only basic DDNS, and the login and password might not be
secure. If you have a private WAN IP address, do not use DDNS service as it can lead to
problems
To set up DDNS:
1. On a computer or wireless device that is connected to your gateway, launch a Web
browser.
2. In the address or URL field of your browser, type http://myrouter.
3. When prompted to log in, enter admin for the user name and type the password. (The
default password is password.)
4. Click Security > Dynamic DNS.
