How to Setup and Configure Dynamic DNS in a Netgear Router (Genie Firmware)


This guide will help you setup and configure Dynamic DNS within your Netgear Router. Using the integrated Dynamic DNS in your router means that you don’t have to keep your computer running all the time on your network in order to access your network remotely. 

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

Step 2: Click “Advanced” and then “Dynamic DNS.”

Step 3: Select “Use Dynamic DNS.”  Choose “www.No-IP.com” from the dropdown menu. Enter your No-IP Host Name, Username, and Password. 

Instead of using your No-IP account credentials, you can create and use DDNS Keys. They offer increased account security and better update client compatibility.
