4.7 Access the XMG Using DDNS
If you connect your XMG to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP address, it is inconvenient for you
to manage the device from the Internet. The XMG’s WAN IP address changes dynamically. Dynamic
DNS (DDNS) allows you to access the XMG using a domain name.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org.
This tutorial covers:
• Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
• Configuring DDNS on Your XMG
• Testing the DDNS Setting
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use DDNS.
4.7.1 Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
1 Open a browser and type http://www.dyndns.org.
2 Apply for a user account. This tutorial uses UserName1 and 12345 as the username and password.
3 Log into www.dyndns.org using your account.
4 Add a new DDNS host name. This tutorial uses the following settings as an example.
• Hostname: zyxelrouter.dyndns.org
• Service Type: Host with IP address
• IP Address: Enter the WAN IP address that your XMG is currently using. You can find the IP address on
the XMG’s Web Configurator Status page.
Then you will need to configure the same account and host name on the XMG later.
4.7.2 Configuring DDNS on Your XMG
Configure the following settings in the Network Setting > DNS > Dynamic DNS screen.
