Configuring routers for use with InThrMa requires setting up a connection that allows specific Internet traffic (from inthrma.com) to pass through your firewall and on to your thermostat.
The information below is intended to help you get through this process for various popular brands of routers.
Note: The 'Default' values below are typical for routers when they ship from the factory. Yours may have been changed. Please consult the person who setup the router or use the tech-support links below.

- Your ISP (SBC, Comcast, Verizon, etc) likely provides you with a Dynamic (subject to change) IP address.
- You can think of an IP address like a phone number for your internet connection.
- You can tell a friend your phone number and they'll memorize it for when they need to reach you BUT if your phone number is subject to change, at anytime, your friend would have no use in memorizing your number and also have a very hard time reaching you once your phone number changes.
- Since InThrMa needs to reach your thermostat over the Internet, at your IP address which is subject to change, we need a different way to address it.
- There are several Dynamic DNS services available to help us with this.
- DNS is like the Yellow Pages for the Internet - it maps addresses like google.com to IP address (google's IP address is: 72.14.207.99 - but you wouldn't want to memorize that for each site you visit).
- We strongly suggest the use of a Dynamic DNS provider to both simplify and ensure constant access to your thermostat.
- We recommend a free Dynamic DNS Service called DynDNS.org (you can find other providers here).
- A Dynamic DNS service will assign your changing IP address a name that remains static. From then on, that name (eg: mythermostat.dyndns.org) can be reliably used to reach your thermostat on the Internet.
