Dynamic DNS hostname registration failure when using dyn.com
Just purchased an Orbi to replace my previous gen Netgear Router. I manually entered all the same settings (that were applicable) from the old router. However, DDNS does not seem to work whatsoever...
I can confirm unfortunatley the same happens to me.
I have a paid DynDns account and my previous router usign the same login details was able to update the dynamic hostname with no problems. I upgraded to the Netgear Orbi recently and while the router is working good there is a bug int the Dynamic DNS update for www.dyndsn.com.
Firstly, when I go under Advanced options - Advanced - Dynamic DNS enter all the details and then hit "Show Status" I get:
No update action. There is no IP address on the Internet port.
This is very obvious not right as I am connected to the Internet and there is an IP address on the Internet port.
Second, if I look into the Advanced - Administration - Logs there is the specific error message form the logs:
[Dynamic DNS] host name <hostname> registeration failure, Sunday, January 29, 2017 17:45:26
So something is screwed up with the Dynamic DNS update in the Netgear Orbi. Netgear when can we get a fix for simple feature?
I have exactly the same problem.
Count me as having the exact same problem. Have both errors:
No update action. There is no IP address on the Internet port.
as well as a log full of
[Dynamic DNS] host name *********.com registeration failure, Tuesday, January 31, 2017 21:55:02
Luckily my ip address has not changed recently, so I have not lost connection yet as Dyn remembers where I am.
