<div><br></div><div>I didn't google the specs but does the RT-N16 have a setting for dynamic dns? Maybe create an account with a ddns provider and configure your router to update the DDNS setting and then just dig the host name e.g. dig <a href="http://yourhost.dyndns.org">yourhost.dyndns.org</a></div>

external (dynamical) IP? It looks surprisingly difficult, judging by<br>
Google results...<br>
The thing is an ASUS RT-N16. I intend to install dd-wrt, eventually,<br>
but for the time being it has the original software, which appears to<br>
be complete crap, BTW.<br>
