Address. Check the box to enable DDNS.
Choose  your  DDNS  provider  from  the  drop 
down menu.

DDNS
The DDNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc…) using a domain name that you have 
purchased  (www.whateveryournameis.com)  with  your  dynamically  assigned  IP  address.  Most  broadband  Internet 
Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can enter in 
your domain name to connect to your server no matter what your IP addres\
s is.

This  option  will  save  the  router  to  a  log  file  on  your 
computer.
The router automatically logs (records) events of possible interest in it’s internal memory. If there isn’t enough internal 
memory for all events, logs of older events are deleted but logs of the latest events are retained. The Logs option allows 
you to view the router logs. You can define what types of events you want to view and the level of the events to view. 
This router also has external Syslog Server support so you can send the log files to a computer on your network that 
is running a Syslog utility.

Section  - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use \
to protect your data from intruders. The 
DIR-635 offers the following types of security:• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)     • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)      • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
What is WEP?
WEP  stands  for  Wired  Equivalent  Privacy.  It  is  based  on  the  IEEE  802.11  standard  and  uses  the  RC4  encryption 
algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted 
from one wireless device to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When 
using  WEP,  you  must  determine  the  level  of  encryption.  The  type  of  encryption  determines  the  key  length.  128-bit 
encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal 
- using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) 
format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to 
HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily.

Section  - Security
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired 
Equivalent Privacy).  
The 2 major improvements over WEP: 
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys 
using  a  hashing  algorithm  and,  by  adding  an  integrity-checking  feature,  ensures  that  the  keys  haven’t 
been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead 
of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol 
(EAP).  WEP  regulates  access  to  a  wireless  network  based  on  a  computer’s  hardware-specific  MAC 
address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key 
encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can acces\
s the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric 
password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must 
be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a 
more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized \
network users can access the network.
