About to become awful: Free Netgear Dynamic DNS
When I first got my RAX200 it was hard to believe it was limited to only having the choice of three DDNS providers, but at least the built-in "NETGEAR" option through NO-IP was free. A year later and ...
This is much worse than originally thought.

This is a HORRIBLE downgrade - so Netgear, when will be receiving our partial refunds for a service that we paid real money for through the cost of the devices?
Considering back in the day when I had an R7000 and had just gotten the R7800 the 30 day NO-IP renewal thing was normal... Seems they likley had a deal with NO-IP sometime afterwards, it's just back to where it was before... While yes it's definately annoying if you got used to their prior change, technically it's still free and just back to the old way again, you're not getting any refunds. Infact I doubt they even advertised with the routers that they even took out the 30 day thing in the first place when that change occured, it was just an added bonus and it's now gone.
- You mentioned this already in this thread?
Anyway, I think it would be easy enough for netgear to actually offer this service within the netgear domain rather than subing it out to a 3rd party or allow us to manually enter dns details feely instead of pinning us to these rip off dns providers. Absolute BS and slack on Netgears behalf.It would be better if they also actuallly opened up the DynamicDNS options to more providers.....
That's what I just said above? Do you work for xerox ?
I for got to add the "Yes" in front of that last post in agreement.... my appologies if the mistake offended you lol.
It's also required to hae a custom option to allow any de-facto standards compliant DDNS updates - not just what some PLM just finds sexy enough to integrate.
