WAX206 Dynamic DNS
Setup a new WAX206 as router. How do I setup my dynamic DNS (I have a subscription). Can't find a setup for my dns.

Have no such WAX206/WAX202 at hand. Dynamic DNS is mentioned in the User Manual however, in the Port Forward and Port Trigger section:
While there are no further details in the UM, the WAX204 does show this menu point:
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Dynamic DNS

Correct: The WAX206 does NOT have the option for Dynamic DNS. I had to return the WAX206 and get a WAX204, which does have DDNS.

Strange. The WAX202/WAX206 User Manual does mention Dynamic DNS, while the (legally binding) Data Sheet does not.
DarrenM can you please investigate why the Dynamic DNS feature is lost in space on the WAX206/WAX202? For certain usage, DDNS is more than a nice-to-have. Cumbersome, several (if not all) WAX204 market SKU are EoL since summer 2022, WAX206/WAX202 since February 2023. Thank you 8-)
