Not updating dynamic DNS
I am having a very similar issue. My old setup was using a NightHawk router. This sits behind a ATT Fiber Modem set to be in pass through mode. Everything works great on the old router. Port Forwarding works great, DDNS with No-IP works great. Set up the new RS300 router. Set all the settings to be the same and nothing works. Cannot get no-ip to update correctly, show status says incorrect host name, it is not. I am not entirely sure my port forwarding is working either. I updated my firmware when I setup the RS300 so I am not sure if this is a known issue that is being work on. I have tried shutting down the RS300 multiple times to see if that would kick something into working but no luck.

Can you clarify what the problem is that you ran into? Usually people use DDNS + Port Forwarding to let a server hosted at home be able to get accessed remotely. But the DDNS function alone does not rely on the Port Forwarding function. If your DDNS function does not work, can you share the screenshot of the DDNS status message?
