Configuring your router to use Dynamic DNS (DDNS) isn't complicated, but before we dive into the process, you need to have a basic understanding of what Dynamic DNS is.

How to set up DDNS (Dynamic DNS) on a TP-Link router
Dynamic DNS, Dynamic Domain Name System, or DDNS is a method of synchronizing a domain name with a changing IP address, since most computers and home routers do not use static IP addresses. In other words, it is a networking technology that allows your public IP address to be updated to a domain name (e.g. something.com, mydomain.net, etc.) at any time. (You can also find the full definition on Wikipedia.)
Now the question is: why would you want to configure Dynamic DNS in your router? There are several applications where this applies. For example, you have an FTP server or a small personal website at your home and need to connect from a remote location.
If Dynamic DNS is configured on your router, it will be much easier to remember the address when configuring a connection or loading a web page (e.g. friendly-address.com instead of 123.28.56.145), and you won't have to manually keep track of every time your public IP address changes.
