If there is no fixed public IP on your connection and you need to connect to your router remotely (administration, VPN, a.s.o), then you should setup a DDNS.

 

Using WebFig:

 

Go to IP / Cloud and set DDNS Enabled to yes. Then, your DNS name will be displayed on the same page.

 

Using command line:

 

/ip cloud set ddns-enabled=yes

 

Afterwards, this will display DNS name:

 

/ip cloud print
          ddns-enabled: yes
  ddns-update-interval: 10s
           update-time: yes
        public-address: x.y.z.w
              dns-name: hh0044h1ijs.sn.mynetname.net
                status: updated

 

The hh0044h1ijs part in the example is your serial number actually. You cannot change this, and it is quite hard to remember. So, you should create a CNAME on your domain to point to that DNS name, so it will be easy to remember.
