Me to I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this thing out. I'm so glad Russ was willing to help me out I have had the controller for like 2 weeks and have been dieing to get it hooked up and now it is al set up and so far doing great the only thing I have not been able to do thus far is link up from a friend's comp Russ told me to go to dyndns.org and set up a dominion name so I did and I can get to it from my comp but can't from one out side of my network there was something I have to enter in my router but not sure of what it is for the Dynamic DNS Configuration it ask for Domain Name which I enter in what I set up on Dyndns.org and the Key Name, and Security Key which I don't know what to enter here I tried used name and password for the DNS and it tells me Bad Key Data !!! so I don't know what it wants I also tried my IP for AC3 and I get the same thing. I don't want to have to bother Russ again he was so helpful already.
I did some reserach on this... seems like DDNS & Westell routers are not a good combination... the user manuals are vague & ambiguous, and there are lots of people who have posted looking for help in this regard. I have not found anyone who says they got it working.
Options:
Options:
- Go without dynamic DNS
- Use the Windows DynDNS client program
- Use another router connected behind the Westell solely to do DDNS.

well atleast it is working now even if I can't get to it from elseware
You can still get to it from the Internet... I just tested, and it is still accessible by IP address. The URL to use is http://98.231.nnn.nnn
Go onto your router main status page to see the current IP address; put the right numbers in the URL above, and you should be fine.
You can also go here to find your current public IP address (while at home):

Dynamic DNS is not required... it is a great convenience however.
