Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS is one of the
most effective ways of being
able to locate your network
from anywhere on the internet
anytime. Traditionally, IP Ad-
dresses and network informa-
tion from your ISP change from
time to time. When this change
happens you can no longer
access your network by IP
Address. Dynamic DNS is soft-
ware that runs on your router
that constantly sends network
updates to a third party server. This means that you will always be able to fi nd your network by way
of a Dynamic DNS hostname; regardless of your IP Address. This feature is critical when using
the Remote Gateway features of this router as it allows your users to always be able to fi nd and
connect to your network via a vanity hostname. It is a requirement that you enroll in one of the two
Dynamic DNS providers we offer. TZO (Paid Service) and DynDNS (Free Service) are two of the
most popular Dynamic DNS providers. Please see their respective web pages (http://www.tzo.com
& http://www.dyndns.org) to create an account and learn more. Once you have created an account
at one of the sites, then you can Enable the Dynamic DNS Function.
From the pull-down menu select the service you just subscribed to.
