To set up DDNS:

Setup > DDNS

1.Sign up for DDNS service at either www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com.

2.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 14).

3.Click the Setup tab, then click the DDNS page.

4.In the DDNS Service drop-down list, click your DDNS service provider. The examples below are based on TZO.com. The settings used by DynDNS.org are slightly different.

5.Complete the fields with information provided by your DDNS provider, then click Save Settings. The Status field tells you what actions have been taken.

Setting Up: Advanced

In this example, the domain name registered with TZO.com is BronzeEagle953.linksysnet.com. If an Internet camera had been configured (see “How to set up port forwarding for a single port” on page 39), you could access the camera by typing the domain name into the address bar of your web browser followed by the port number used for the device. For example, if the camera in the above example used port 1024, the URL would be:

BronzeEagle953.linksysnet.com:1024

How to clone a MAC address

On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer’s MAC address is registered with your ISP and you do not want to re-register the MAC address, then you can clone the address (assign the registered MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC address from an old router that you are replacing with your new router, you should first determine the MAC address of your old router, then manually enter it into your new router.

NOTE

For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, the stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you reset the modem. If you are installing this router for the first time, reset your modem before connecting the router to your modem. To reset your modem, disconnect power for about one minute, then reconnect power.

To clone a MAC address from your computer:

Setup > MAC Address Clone

1.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 14).

2.Click the Setup tab, then click the MAC Address Clone page.

3.Click Enabled.

4.Click either Clone My PC’s MAC or enter the 12-digit MAC address of your old router.
