Identify your network on the Internet

Administrator > Management

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and other devices on your local area network.

Note: First, you will need to sign up for one of the DDNS service providers listed in the Server Address drop-down list.

1.Sign up for one of the DDNS available service providers list under Server Address. (e.g. dyndns.com, no-ip.com, etc.)

2.Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 31).
