Dynamic DNS (DDNS) provides a stable domain name for a network, allowing users to consistently access a network even when an Internet service provider (ISP) might change the network’s IP address. For more information, see What is Dynamic DNS (DDNS)?
If you already have DynDNS.org or NoIP.com DDNS service, you can use it with your NETGEAR router. This article assumes that you already have DDNS service and provides instructions for setting up your existing DDNS service on your router.
NETGEAR is partnered with NoIP to provide free MyNETGEAR DDNS services. If you do not already have a DDNS service provider, see How do I set up a NETGEAR Dynamic DNS account on my NETGEAR router?.
