ASUS DDNS Service

The ASUS DSL-N1E_C1 WiFi Modem Router supports the ASUS 

DDNS service. If you have registered for the ASUS DDNS service 

but need to exchange devices at the service center, inform the 

service center that you want to keep the original domain name 

and retain the DDNS service. Visit your local service center for 

more information.

•  If there is no activity in the domain - such as reconfiguring 

the router or accessing the registered domain name - within 
90 days, the system automatically deletes the registered 
information. 

•  If you encounter any problem or difficulty in using your 

device, contact the service center.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1.  Will the registered information be lost or registered by 

others?

If you have not updated the registered information in 90 days, 

the system automatically deletes the registered information 

and the domain name may be registered by others.

2.  I did not register the ASUS DDNS for the router I bought six 

months ago. Can I still register it?

Yes, you can still register the ASUS DDNS service for your router. 

The DDNS service is embedded in your router, so you can 

register the ASUS DDNS service anytime. Before registering, 

click 

Query

 to check if the hostname has been registered 

or not. If the hostname is available, the system registers the 

hostname automatically.
