Dynamic DNS Configuration
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is an Internet service that allows routers with varying public IP addresses to be located by using Internet domain names. To use DDNS, you must set up an account with a DDNS provider such as DynDNS.org, TZO.com or Oray.net.

The router firmware includes software that notifies dynamic DNS servers of changes in the WAN IP address so that the services running on this network can be accessed by others on the Internet.

WAN Mode
This section displays the currently configured WAN mode, i.e., Single Port or Primary Broadband with Dial-up as backup.
Broadband/Dial-up:
Choose the DDNS provider from the list under Select the Dynamic DNS Service. Fill in the appropriate fields to select a DDNS provider. Selecting None will disable DDNS on the Broadband/Dial-up port and the section heading will read: (DDNS Status: service is not enabled!) to reflect the status.
The links, DynDNS Information, TZO Information and Oray Registration point to the websites of the respective DDNS providers and are provided for convenience.
