Netgear Orbi RBK50 DDNS issue

Hi Netgear community, I have a Netgear Orbi RBK50 Firmware V2.1.4.16 and do not think the DDNS function is updating my host at NO-IP.COM. The service is configured with the right hostname...

This happens sometimes with me. I also have DDNS from No-IP.com. When this happen I just disable DDNS by unticking "Use a Dynamic DNS Service" then Apply the changes and then do the opposite. The DDNS status will show correctly after that --> xxxxxxx updated successfully at 11:01 PM, 09/18/2018

Thanks for this tip,, it actually worked!

I got this message this time:

xxxxxxxxxx.ddns.net updated successfully at 08:05 PM, 09/19/2018

Netgear needs to fix up the firmware eventually.

Glad to hear you got it fixed! Thank you for your help on this ekhalil.

Engineers are working to resolve these issues in future firmwares.

This issue occurs almost always after restart of the router. alfred56, Christian_R

I have to go to the DDNS setting every time the router is restarted and deactivate/activate to get DDNS working again!
