Setup > 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 you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider, www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want to use this feature, keep the default, Disabled. DDNS DDNS Service If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then select DynDNS.org from the drop-down menu. If your DDNS service is provided by TZO, then select TZO.com. Wireless-N Home Router Advanced Configuration The features available on the DDNS screen will vary, depending on which DDNS service provider you use. DynDNS.org Setup > DDNS > DynDNS Username Enter the Username for your DDNS account. Password Enter the Password for your DDNS account. Host Name The is the DDNS URL assigned by the DDNS service.
