DDNS setting not working with No-IP. They've changed their domain name.
I’m trying to figure out a way to file a bug for a RBR50 running V2.7.5.4 firmware. The Orbi DDNS settings in the firmware still has www.No-IP.com listed in the pull-down and it no longer works...
The Orbi AC series is EoL. So most likely won't see a FW update.
Something you can try is Voxel's 3rd party FW:
More puzzled.....
Have an RBR750 used for testing and set up DDNS on it select ing No-IP.com. (Doesn't have a public IP address, so totally uncertain what will happen). Notice that the 750 also uses "No-IP.com"
After several failure messages, the Orbi log shows Updated Successfully!
Perhaps it would be useful to ask what prompted the original post?
- Did the Original Poster (OP) attempt to create a DDNS with No-IP.com on the RBR50 and the process failed?
A screen shot of the error message would be helpful. - Did the OP discover that No-IP.com had become NOIP.com and assume that this invalidates the DDNS signup or maintenance process?
It seems to me that there must be a gadzillion (computer nerd term) users around the world who have established DDNS with No-IP.com Would the company really make a change that would immediately render their DDNS inoperative? Would the various companies who have included No-IP.com in their router firmware not notice and react?
This forum provides occasions to explore technical topis that most of us never consider. This appears to be one of those occasions.
I have setup my RBR50 with VPN services enabled. I use the DDNS service from NoIP to keep my hostname up to date for when my public IP address changes. FYI, my daughter uses the VPN from college. I also use it because Dish requires that you be on the home network when setting up a future TV recording.
It used to work very reliably for several years until No-IP changed to NoIP. In fact, I started using it back when Netgear hosted the mynetgear.com services. Unfortunately, they discontinued that free service and I was forced to go to NO-IP. Dyn which is the 3rd service provider on the pull down is a FOR FEE service only. so, NoIP is the only free service available.
I'm not sure how you got the log entries for the DDNS attempts shown below. I've checked my local Log and I see no attempt or denials. (Every checkbox checked)
nslookup gives me two different IP address for no-ip.com and noip.com. I'm not sure that makes a difference.
It's not a huge issue. I will just need to manually update the DNS entry when my public IP address changes which isn't more than a couple times a year. If you ever update the firmware for the RBR50, it would be nice if it was on the fix list.
