Set Up and Manage Dynamic DNS
Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each
Internet account. Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the
IP address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your network
remotely, but most people don’t know what their IP addresses are or when this number
changes.
To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service
that lets you use a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you
must set up the cable modem router to use Dynamic DNS. Then the cable modem
router notifies the Dynamic DNS service provider whenever its IP address changes.
When you access your Dynamic DNS account, the service finds the current IP address
of your home network and automatically connects you.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
Specify a DNS Account
To set up Dynamic DNS in the cable modem router:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
cable modem router network.
2.
Enter http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the cable modem router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Settings > Dynamic DNS.
The Dynamic DNS page displays.
5. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box.
6. In the Service Provider menu, select your service provider.
7.
In the Host Name field, type the host name (sometimes called the domain name)
for your account.
