No-ip Dynamic DNS update not working with some hosts.
I just purchased the Orbi system and have tried setting up the Dynamic DNS feature with my no-ip.com account, using firmware 1.10.1.2. When I try either of the 2 domains in my no-ip.com account a...
After working with No-ip to troubleshoot the issue, they had me try adding "-." to the begining of the url. This worked. For example, in my case, I am using a delegated subdomain so the string is "-.vpn.mydomain.com". Hopefully this will work for you. Aparently this is an issue in the version of No-ip's Linux dynamic update client that Netgear used. It woulds like something that No-ip has to fix and then Netgear has to incorporate in their software. No ETA is available for a fix but at least there is this workaround.
For once I don't think this is netgear fault. I run a remote access for a business, then one day everything stop working. It drove me crazy for a while but it turn out even if the server has been updating it ip address, noip for some reason it is not.
As it turns out all you have to do is run this URL before attempting the VPN connection to make sure that the address is Up to date

Thanks, but I'm not talking about setting up a VPN, just getting my router to update no-ip.com with the IP address using the Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> Dynamic DNS feature. Calling it in the browser using the URL you provided (and replacing my info) does indeed update the IP in my no-ip account, but I need the router to do it and not complain that the "host name is not correct" when using a top-level domain (like a single dot-com name).
