Dynamic DNS (DDNS) links your router's WAN IP address with a hostname, and automatically updates DNS servers when the WAN IP address changes. CenturyLink does not provide DDNS. This outside service has to be set up with a third-party provider.
NOTE: Depending on your modem, your settings interface may appear slightly different from the images below.
1. Connect a device, such as a computer or tablet, to the internet through WiFi or using an Ethernet cable connected to your modem.
2. Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 into the web address field.
3. Log in to the modem's settings interface (Modem GUI) using your Admin Username and Admin Password. Note that these are different from your wireless network name (SSID) and WiFi password (security key).
4. Select the Advanced Setup icon in the main menu.
5. Select "Dynamic DNS" in the left sidebar. This menu option may appear in the WAN Settings section or in the IP Addressing section, depending on your particular model.
6. Follow the steps to edit the Dynamic DNS settings.
