4.3.5 DDNS

Setting up DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows you to access the router

from outside your network through the provided ASUS DDNS

Service or another DDNS service.

To set up DDNS:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >

DDNS tab.

2. Click the following settings below. Click Apply when done.

Enable the DDNS Client: Enable DDNS to access the ASUS

router via the DNS name rather than WAN IP address.

Server and Host Name: Choose ASUS DDNS or other DDNS.

If you want to use ASUS DDNS, fill in the Host Name in the

format of xxx.asuscomm.com (xxx is your host name).

If you want to use a different DDNS service, click FREE TRIAL

and register online first. Fill in the User Name or E-mail

Address and Password or DDNS Key fields.

Enable wildcard: Enable wildcard if your DDNS service

requires one.

NOTES:

DDNS service will not work under these conditions:

• When the wireless router is using a private WAN IP address (192.168.

x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x), as indicated by a yellow text.

• The router may be on a network that uses multiple NAT tables.
