How to access your network on the Internet

Why would I need to find my network on the Internet? If you want to remotely access a drive attached to your router or view a web camera on your home network, you need to be able to easily enter your network’s address into a web browser.

Working with several DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) service providers, your router’s DDNS feature lets you configure a domain name for your network, which you can then use to easily find your network on the Internet. If your ISP changes your network’s IP address (which can happen frequently), the DDNS service providers detect the address change and continue to route your domain name to that address.

Tip

Before you configure DDNS on your router, you must sign up for DDNS service from a DDNS service provider that’s supported by your router.

To set up DDNS:

1.Sign up for DDNS service at either www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com. Note all of the information provided to you by the DDNS provider.

2.Log into Cisco Connect Cloud. (See “How to configure your router” on page 11.

Setting Up: Advanced

3.Under Router Settings, click Security, then click the Apps and Gaming tab. The DDNS screen opens.

4.In the DDNS Service drop-down list (the list that has Disabled selected by default), select your DDNS service provider.

5.Complete the fields with information provided by your DDNS provider, then click OK.

6.To access the network from the Internet, enter the domain name provided by the DDNS service provider.

To access one of your network devices on the Internet:

a.Configure the router to use port forwarding for the device (see “How to set up port forwarding for a single port” on page 48). Note the port number used for the device.

b.Enter the domain name for your network, followed by a colon and the port number. For example, if the domain name registered with your DDNS provider is HappyBunny.linksysnet.com, and your Internet camera has been configured to use port 1024, you would enter:

HappyBunny.linksysnet.com:1024
