Just acquire some knowledge about port forwarding of your modem/router.
then try
*wiki.nas4free.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=faq:how_to_configure_custom_dyndns_services.pdf

check if your router has Dynamic DNS feature ( most new routers/modems have this feature). just search for that.

^ I has dynamic dns. But it supports only dyndns and that's paid. I want a free method if possible.

check your router website for firmware update to see if they added new free dynamic dns providers.

there is a firmware version IN_1.00. My router verion is also the same. Is there any harm in installing the same firmware again??

^ if firmware version is same then no need to reflash.

BTW when I first saw the title.. I literally thought it was "How to access NSA from outside my home network"

check with other Dynamic DNS Services providers, there are couple of free ones, maybe you will get a software based DNS.
