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.

Hi Darren,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Please, please, please (sorry to sound like I am desperate but I am) is there any way that Dynamic DNS can be reconsidered very soon?. I am looking for the speed that these network devices provide with the plan to use many hundreds of them over time for business purposes to run remote cameras. The cameras do not have the smarts to do this.
Thanks
John

Can I second that please. BIG request for Dynamic DNS support AND also remote access to the router via WAN, where we can manually assign a remote admin port number. I too find it odd that it supports port forwarding but not DDNS. We are using the M1 in remote locations with IP cameras we connect to, and if it goes offline there's no way of remotely diagnosing or isolating the issue. If we could talk to the router the same way we can talk to the camera remotely, this would be a big help.
Would it be too much to also request SMS diagnostics, eg sending an SMS to ask what it's WAN IP address is?
Or is Netgear looking at releasing an industrial grade version of this router with LTE Category 16 under the hood?
Thanks in advance.
