When you have finished specifying the static DNS configuration, click Apply so that your changes take effect.

Dynamic DNS

If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial dynamic DNS service to register your domain to their IP address, and forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.

The modem router contains a client that can connect to a dynamic DNS service provider. To use this feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have configured your account information in the modem router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your modem router will automatically contact your Dynamic DNS service provider, log in to your account, and register your new IP address.
