Question about DDNS and freedns.org

Looking to see if I purchased the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Wi-Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C7000-100NAS) if it supported adding DDNS addresses. Specifly I will need to add freedns.afraid.org so ...

there should be 3- 4 options in DynamicDNS dropdown menu which includes NETGEAR supported NOIP as well. Are you seeing only 1?

    I'm not seeing any. I don't have the device - I was planning on buying the device if I can add a custom DDNS entry or if it already supports freedns.afraid.org - Do you happen to know?

      Sorry, afraid.org is not there.

       

      I see there NETGEAR-NOIP, NOIP,dyndns.org, and dtdns.com options in there..

       

      can you use above options?
