Chapter 12 Customize Your Network Settings 12. 3. Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account Most ISPs assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change from time to time and you don't know when it changes. In this case, you might apply the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your friends to access your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using a domain name without checking and remembering the IP address. Note: DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the router. 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the router. 2. Go to Advanced > Network > Dynamic DNS. 3. Select the DDNS Service Provider: NO-IP or DynDNS. If you don't have a DDNS account, you have to register first by clicking Go to register. Then enter the username, password and domain name of your account. 4. Click Log In and Save. Tips: If you want to use a new DDNS account, please click Log out first, and then log in with a new account. 12. 4.

Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
Most ISPs assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address
to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change from time to time
and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might apply the DDNS (Dynamic
Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your friends to access your
router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using a domain name without checking and
remembering the IP address.
Note:
DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the router.
1. Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the password you set for the router.
2. Go to
Advanced

3. Select the DDNS
Service Provider
: NO-IP or DynDNS. If you don’t have a DDNS
account, you have to
register first by clicking
Go to register
. Then enter the username,
password and domain name of your account.
4. Click
Log In
and
Save

Tips:
If you want to use a new DDNS account, please click
Log out
first, and then log in with a new account.

Create Static Routes
Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator
or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing
information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.
Visit multiple networks and servers at the same time.

in a small office, my PC can surf the internet through
Router A, but I also want to visit my company’s network. Now I
have a switch and Router B. I connect the devices as shown in
the following figure so that the physical connection between my
PC and my company’s server is established. To surf the internet
and visit my company’s network at the same time, I need to
