How to Configure DDNS in a Router by bilarocket

Step 1: Login to your router via the default gateway address.

Step 2: Enter your router credentials into the login page.

Please Note: Your router credentials should be on a sticker on the bottom of your router. If not, you can see the most common credentials below.

Device Username Password

D-Link admin (leave blank)

Netgear admin password

Linksys admin admin

Asus admin admin

DrayTek admin admin

ZyXel admin 1234

TP-Link admin admin

TRENDnet admin admin

Belkin admin (leave blank)

Step 3: Next, locate the Dynamic DNS (DDNS) settings. Typically this will be under Advanced and then DDNS or Dynamic DNS.

Step 4: On the DDNS page, select No-IP as the service provider. Enter your No-IP username and password. Then enter in the hostname or domain you have created in the host or domain field.
Below is an example of what your settings may look like:

DDNS Provider: No-IP
Username: YourEmailAddress
Password: YourPassword
Hostname/Domain: hostname.ddns.net

Please Note: If your router does not list No-IP you can try updating your firmware. Otherwise, you will need to run our Dynamic Update Client on a computer at the location. You can also check if another device like a camera on your network if it supports No-IP for DDNS.

Step 5: Finally, check to see if your hostname can successfully receive an update. This can be done by logging into your No-IP.com account and clicking “Dynamic DNS” on the left-hand navigation bar. Select “Modify” next to your hostname and set your hostname IP address to 1.1.1.1 and click “Update Hostname.” Once updated, you will want to restart your router. When the router is back up, log into your No-IP.com account again and navigate back to the “Dynamic DNS” page. You should now see your current public IP address. If you see your current public IP address, your setup was successful and your DDNS is working correctly.

Note: If you do not know your current public IP address you can find it by going to www.portchecktool.com.

Below you will see interfaces from the 4 most popular manufacturers. Be aware that your router may display a different interface. If you have any questions or are unsure what to do, we recommend finding a guide that provides more information.
