RBRE960 Dynamic DNS, limited selection of services?

I just set up my RBRE960.

 

I want to use dynamic DNS -- but I fail to understand why we're limited to which dynamic services we can use (Netgear, DYN, NO-IP).   

 

This makes zero sense to me. 

 

Can someone explain this, and/or is there a way around this arbitrary limitation?

 

Thanks.

  • The reason is that each of the DDNS services has a different protocol for updating the service database when the public IP is changed and Netgear programmed the router for only those services. When you subscribe to DDNS in a computer, you load the update code on the computer. Sorry. You are stuck with these choices.
