This blog was created to help those wanting to make best use of their WGR614 WiFi Router. The configurations that I mention below works with BSNL and Airtel connections (India). However, it can certainly work well with any PPPoE based ADSL connections.

Dynamic DNS

Snapshot


The router provides a Dynamic DNS facility, so you can access some site like yourname.dyndns.org and be able to ping your router (of course in my case the router wont reply back, since it drops all ICMP ping packets). If you have specific ports open (lets say you open 2020), then you can acess it by http://yourname.dyndns.org:2020/
This helps you avoid asking someone within the router's local network to provide you the public IP that the router obtained when it connected to the ISP.
