5.11 Dynamic DDNS
The router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP
server, or other server behind the router. Before using this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service
providers such as www.dyndns.org, www.oray.net or www.comexe.cn. The Dynamic DNS client service
provider will give you a password or key.
To set up for DDNS, follow these instructions:
