Dynamic DNS problems on Synnology with Orbi RBR50V2 firmware 2.7.3.22
All of a sudden my Synology DS720 produces Dynamic DNS problems (xxx.synology.me). After quite a bit research the problem is most likey caused by the Orbi (see https://www.synoforum.com/threads/ddns...

Mention of the Orbi starts about page 3 of the thread. I get the impression that this might be another consequence of the V2.7.3.22 firmware. This thread provided an interesting perspective on DDNS. (which I enjoyed.) It had never occured to me that there could be any number of DDNS entries that resolve to the same public IP address. As long as the connection request refers to a port that has been forwarded to a specific IP on the LAN, any number of devices could be using DDNS. They just all have to have different ports on the Orbi WAN side.
I also noticed a comment that the Orbi debug page (at one time) had an option to prevent automatic firmware updates. I do not recall seeing any such option, at least in the past couple of years. A mystery.

Seems like there maybe a problem else where well before page 3 though.
I'll look to see if that option is there on my RBR50 with v22 loaded. I don't recall seeing that option either.
