August 2004
The router contains a client that can connect to a dynamic DNS service provider. To use this
feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have
configured your account information in the router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address
changes, your router will automatically contact your dynamic DNS service provider, log in to your
account, and register your new IP address.
How to Configure Dynamic DNS
1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name
of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN
address you have chosen for the router.
2. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, select Dynamic DNS to
display the page below.

4. Select the “Use a dynamic DNS service” check box.
5. Select the name of your dynamic DNS Service Provider.

The dynamic DNS service provider may call this the domain name. If your URL is
