SBG6782 (v8.4.x): DDNS Setup

The SBG6782 supports the usage of a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS).  DDNS service provides the ability to assign a static Internet domain name to a dynamic IP address, which allows the SBG6782 to be easily accessed from various locations over the Internet.  Dynamic DNS is disabled by default.  This document describes how to enable and configure Dynamic DNS.

NOTE 1: Dynamic DNS service is required, which can be obtained at the DynDNS website.

NOTE 2: This feature is not available for units that have been purchased or leased from Time Warner.

   NOTE: A browser message on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera, may appear when accessing the Web Manager.  The message includes 192.168.01 uses an unsupported protocol and ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH.  The Web Manager uses an earlier version of the TLS protocol and does not match the version allowed by the web browser.  Safari browsers on Apple PC and mobile devices are not impacted.  The workaround to access the Web Manager with a PC is to use the Firefox browser and set the TLS version to 1.  For workaround instructions refer to article # 19435 - 192.168.0.1 uses an unsupported protocol.
