Dynamic DNS
If your Internet provider gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a 
domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name 
Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, 
you do not know in advance what your IP address is, and the address can change frequently. 
In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. This type of service lets you 
register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your 
frequently changing IP address.
If your Internet provider assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x 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 that DynDNS.org 
provided. First, visit their website at http://www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and host 
name that you configure in the router. Then, whenever your Internet provider-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 http://hostname.dyndns.org.
To set up Dynamic DNS:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the 
network.
2. In the address field of the web browser, enter www.routerlogin.net or 
www.routerlogin.com.

ose URLs display 
in the  Service Provider list.
6.  Select the  Use a Dynamic DNS Service  check box. 
7.  Select the URL for your Dynamic DNS service provider
 . 
For example, if your Dynamic DNS service provider is DynDNS.org, select \
www
 .DynDNS.org .
8.  In the Host Name  field, type the host name (or domain name) that your Dynamic DNS 
service provider gave you.
9.  In the User Name field, type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account. 
This name is the name that you use to log in to your account, not your h\
ost name.
10.  In the  Password field, type the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account. 
11.  Click the  Apply button.
