Question
How do I configure DDNS in my SBG6950AC2 gateway?
Answer
The SBG6950AC2 supports the usage of Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS).  DDNS service provides the ability to access the SBG6950AC2 or other devices, such as a web server or video cameras, in a home network using a friendly name from various locations over the Internet.  The Internet IP address of the gateway will not need to be remembered.  Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is disabled by default.  This document describes how to setup Dynamic DNS.
