NOIP/DDNS update fails regularly
I've recently setup my R7000 to update to my ddns at noip. While the update eventually succeeds, it ALWAYS fails a number of times before it succeeds. Usually 3-5 failures before success. Yesterda...
I'm in the same boat as Kitsap . Have been using NoIP with R7000, Orbi and R8000p for years. Registration authenticates once every 24 hrs. Never fails.
Who is your ISP. What device is in front of your Nighthawlk?
More inclined to believe its your connection to the web. But If its not your connection, you can also try changing your PW. Try something simple, and see if that resolves the intermittent failures.

Firmware - V1.0.9.64_10.2.64
ISP - Comcast (1000Mbps Down / 35Mbps Up)
Modem - Arris SB8200
Modem Firmware - SB8200.0200.174F.311915.NSH.RT.NA
I just logged into my NOIP account directly and it says it hasn't been updated since I created the ddns hostname. I should also point out that I have enabled IPV6 since the modem, router, and Comcast are fully IPV6 enabled. My score at https://test-ipv6.com/ is 10/10 for IPV6 readiness.
The type of DNS record at NOIP is just a type A. Is it possible that the R7000 is trying to push my IPV6 address to a type A instead of pushing my IPV4 address? Should I create a AAAA record and see what happens?
I am fully IPV6 enabled and use OpenDNS servers. When I log in to No-IP it shows 93 updates over the previous 30 days. My account is also Type A.
Have you downloaded and installed the Dynamic Update Client (DUC). On the No-IP page it is found under Dynamic DNS on the Dashboard.
I figured out the problem. In the back and forth of trying to remember my NOIP credentials and resetting my password, I forgot add "@gmail.com" to the username in the DDNS setup. Oy. My bad.
- Happy ending to your story then.
I too am Comcast, SB6190 in front of my R8000p and Orbi. SB6120 in front of the R6400. All IPv6 capable and enabled. 10 out of 10 for all.
Glad you figured out your issue.
