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...

Hello anschmid
You may have to go to the NO-Ip website and make the account there and then try it.

Darren, thanks!
I actually tried that and went to NO-IP website. It recognizes that there is an account (email) and my password works too but once I get in it tells me the account has never been activated and only allows me to resend the activation email which as before never shows up?
Is there anything special about the Netgear NO-IP accounts that would prevent the activation email to be send out or is this a NO-IP problem?

Hello anschmid
Not that I am aware of it should send one to you may want to ticket No-Ip support to help with that.

can please notify Netgear Engineering about the DynDNS issue so they can get a fix in the firmware for it. I also have a paid subscription and would like to use like others have mentioned.

DarrenM, I just went to open a support ticket with NO-IP and found this on their open a ticket page:
We're currently experiencing issues with icloud.com and me.com receiving emails. If you have not received your email please contact our Customer Success team and they will be glad to assist you.
I guess that explains it for me as I am using iCloud. Hope they can solve it soon!
