DDNS
For the device's Dynamic DNS settings:
- Services
- Dynamic DNS
follow the menus. The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) function allows remote access to the router via a domain name instead of your dynamically changing IP address. This way, remote access operations are not affected by changes in your IP address.
Supported Services
If you can select your DNS service provider from the Services section, you can configure it as follows:
| Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| Enable | On/Off | Off |
| Event Interface | wan_5g / wan_wired / sta_5g / sta_2g | wan_5g |
| Service | DDNS server address | dyndns.org |
| Username | Enter the username provided by the DDNS server | myusername |
| Password | Enter the password provided by the DDNS server | mypassword |
| Domain Name | Domain name | |
| Sync Time | Synchronization time. Takes a value between 30 - 65535, unit is seconds. | 300 |
Custom Services
If your DNS service provider is not found in the Services section, select the Custom option:
| Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| Enable | On/Off | Off |
| Event Interface | wan_5g / wan_wired / sta_5g / sta_2g | wan_5g |
| Service | DDNS server address | -- custom -- |
| DDNS Server | DDNS server. | |
| DDNS URL path | DDNS URL. | |
| Username | Enter the username provided by the DDNS server | myusername |
| Password | Enter the password provided by the DDNS server | mypassword |
| Domain Name | Domain name | |
| Sync Time | Synchronization time. Takes a value between 30 - 65535, unit is seconds. | 300 |
- After setting all parameters, do not forget to restart the device for the parameters to take effect.
- Dynamic domain names work even if the router is on a subnet.
- DDNS + port forwarding can provide remote access to the router's subnet.
- A separate public IP address must be assigned to the router's network for this function.
