Nighthawk M1 Dynamic DNS support
Hello, Can anyone please confirm whether the Nighthawk M1 router supports Dynamic Dns so it can be used for remote access without a fixed IP? Thanks in advance David.
Not supported directly by M1 but you can use dyn DNS service such as http://dyn.com/dns/ which would work fine. Dyn would map the dynamic IP the M1 is getting from ISP to enable remote access.

Thanks Darren,
how would Dyn know the ip unless something at that address was contacting it, such as a computer with their app on it or a router set to contact the Dyn servers?
In my experience I'd need the router to have a setting so I can tell it to contact dyn with its dyn host ID.
Thanks again
David
