2. Enter the MAC address of the device for which you want to reserve IP address.

Note:
You can also appoint IP addresses within a specified range to devices of the same type by using Condition Pool feature. For example, you
can assign IP addresses within the range (192.168.0.50 to192.168.0.80) to Camera devices, thus facilitating the network management.
11. 4. Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
Most ISPs (Internet service provieders) assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address to access your
router remotely. However, the IP address can change any time and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might
need the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your friends to access your router and
local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using domain name, in no need of checking and remembering the IP address.
Note: DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private Internet IP address (such as 192.168.0.x) to the router.
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > Dynamic DNS.
3. Select the DDNS Service Provider (Dyndns or NO-IP). If you don’t have a DDNS account, select a service provider and click
Go to register.
4. Enter the username, password and domain name of the account.
5. Click Login and click Save.
Tips: If you want to use a new DDNS account, please Logout first, then log in with the new account.
