Dynamic DNS

A DNS (Domain Name Service) resolves an Internet address such as www.usr.com into an IP address. A dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a Web name like myUSRrouter.dynDNS.com to your router, making it accessible from the Internet without having to know the router's IP address assigned by the service provider.

In this page, you can set parameters that will allow the domain name services to find your router. You would use this to bypass the dynamic nature of WAN IP addressing, to have a consistent host name accessible from the Internet.

Note: You will need dynamic DNS service provided by a third party to use this feature.
