SETTING UP A LINK TO A DYNAMIC DOMAIN NAME SERVICE

Field Description

DDNS Server:

(ADVANCED)

The WR850 supports a feature called Dynamic Domain Name

System (DDNS), which enables you to assign a fixed host and

domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address (e.g., an IP address

assigned to the WR850 through DHCP).
DDNS is particularly useful if you are hosting your own web server,

FTP server, or other type of server behind the router, so that visitors

can locate your service with a consistent name.
Before you can use this feature, you must sign up for DDNS service

at a DDNS service provider, such as

www.dyndns.org

or

www.changeip.com

.

Once you have signed up, you can enable the feature by selecting

the appropriate DDNS service provider.
