Internet. DDNS provides a simple, and in most cases free, solution.

The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates then into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.yahoo.com, are just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service provides a means of updating your IP address so that you listing will be current when your IP address changes. There are several services on the Internet that are available for free. We will only cover one, www.dyndns.org. You will need to register with the service and setup a domain of your choice from the list they provide for you.

The DDNS service in our device works by uploading your new WAN IP address to the servers when it changes. You would only need to enter the account information in the DDNS setup page of your unit.
