Issue with mynetgear dns - Unable to complete the job, reason: Unable to locate hostname in your acc

Folks

 

I have used mynetgear for about 2 years with no major issues. However, in the past 2 weeks, I had issues when my ISP changed my IP. My N900 is not updating anymore the mynetgear host.

Trying to test, I got the following message - Unable to complete the job, reason: Unable to locate hostname in your account

I am starting to think this is any kind of proposital issue to force me acquire the paid plan from no-ip.

 

It impact my home surveilance cameras, and it is quite frustating.

 

Do someone is facing or faced a similar issue ? Please advise. Thanks everyone
