How to configure DDNS function for the ADSL Modem Router

Product line: ADSL        Question category: Function configurations

 Q：Why we need to configure the Dynamic DNS?

A：When we use a numeric IP address allocated by Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect to Internet, the address may either be stable (static), or may change from one session on the Internet to the next (dynamic). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to remember; an address which changes unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS provider allocates a static hostname to the user, thus, uninterrupted access to devices and services whose numeric IP address may change is maintained.

I. Physical connection:

II. Login to the management page of the router:

1. Open a web browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and find the address bar, leaving it blank before typing in 192.168.1.1, and then press enter.
