How to setup Dynamic DNS on NETGEAR routers?

Dynamic DNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) allows you to link a host name to a changing Internet IP address. A dynamic DNS service provider uses a special program that runs on the user's computer, contacting the DNS service each time the IP address provided by the ISP changes and subsequently updating the DNS database to reflect the change in IP address. In this way, other users do not have to know the changed IP address in order to connect with the other computer.

Note: You must create a Dynamic DNS account before following the steps below. Visit www.DynDNS.com for more information about DynDNS and how to create an account.
