I'm having an issue with my Apex. I bought the DYN service for when my router changes IP address? I do not know how to hook it up though...

Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Any IT people?

The DYN service will update the Apex when my routers ?WAN or LAN? changes and I will not lose contact with the controller through my phone. There is port forwarding and a bunch of other stuff that is over my head. I know I'm doing a crappy job explaining this...
I was asking on the Neptune forum and this is what someone told me to do:
Here's the list I go through when setting up remote access for others. If you've completed all the steps then I think you should be good.
1- Turn off DHCP on the apex
2-On your router, reserve the IP address of the Apex so that the router doesn't give it to another device
3-Setup the port forwarding on the router to the Apex IP using the port number set on the Apex
4-Setup the dynamic dns hostname
5-Setup the router to notify dyndns.org of changes to the Wide Area Network IP; it'll ask for the hostname you setup and the account login info; if your router doesn't support this then you'll need to install software from dyndns.org to do this (ideally on a desktop and NOT a laptop)
And you're done.

Thank you for the replies. I got it done...I think.
