If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x
Note:
or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic DNS service does not work because
private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
Your router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided by
DynDNS.org. You must first visit their website at
host name, which you specify in the router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address
changes, your router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to
your account, and registers your new IP address. If your host name is hostname, for
example, you can reach your router at hostname.dyndns.org.
Select Advanced > Dynamic DNS. The Dynamic DNS screen displays.
To configure for a Dynamic DNS service:
Register for an account with one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names

appear in the Service Provider list. For example, for DynDNS.org, select
www.dynDNS.org.
Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box.
2.
Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.
3.
Enter the host name (or domain name) that your Dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
4.
Enter the user name for your Dynamic DNS account. This is the name that you use to log in
5.
to your account, not your host name.
Enter the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account.
6.
If your Dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can
7.
select the Use Wildcards check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP
address as yourhost.dyndns.org.
Click Apply to save your configuration.
