Connect to your modem router on your home network: • To connect with Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name. To use a Dynamic DNS account, you must enter the account information in the Dynamic DNS screen (see Set Up and Manage Dynamic DNS on page 176). • To connect without Dynamic DNS, type the modem router's Internet port IP address. You can view the modem router's Internet IP address on the BASIC Home screen.
