Force router reset while away
I have 2 Nest (brand) security cams in the S&B which are Wifi to my Linksys router WRT120N. This router has a bad habit of dropping the wifi connection every now and then, which means the cams go off...

Here's my question:
Most routers I know for home usage have a 192.168.x.x address for their user interface web page. That's a locally assigned IP address, findable within your local LAN -- but NOT visible (i.e., DNS-identifiable) to the WAN side (i.e., the Internet).
Any suggestions?
You can use a service like Dtdns. They will allow you to get a unique name on one of their domains. There is a 1 time $5 charge to set up for personal usage (limited number of accesses up to 5 unique names). I have used it for occasional access while away from home to an IP camera that I don't normally show outside my local network.
If your local internet service is like mine & you get a different ip address multiple times per day, then you will need a way to update their records of your ip everytime it changes.
