Activate DrayDDNS Service for a Free Hostname

DrayDDNS is a free DDNS service provided for every Vigor Router. Each device can register one hostname under the drayddns.com domain. The hostname works with all WAN interfaces and only needs to be renewed once every two years. This article demonstrates how to configure DrayDDNS on the router.

1. Before activating the DrayDDNS service, ensure the Vigor Router can connect to the Internet.

2. Go to System Maintenance >> Registration & Services.

Select the Service Status tab Click + Manage License & Services 　

3. This will take you to the login page for MyVigor. Enter your MyVigor credentials to sign in. Check if the browser blocked the pop-up window if you do not see the web page.

Note: The router must be registered to a MyVigor user account before activating the DrayDDNS service. If you do not have one, please register one before continuing.
