RS300 not updating dynamic DNS
I have 2 Netgear routers on my private network, they are a R8000 and a RS300. Additionally I have 2 Hostnames purchased from NoIP.com. I can define either NoIP hostname in R8000 router, click 'Sh...
The current RS300 firmware does not update the DDNS serverv periodically, and we are working to release the fixed firmware. mzeazeas32 , I will PM you a RS300 release canddiate v1.0.5.12 that has fixed this issue, you may give it a try.
The VPN server function on the router requires the DDNS to be enabled or static public IP address to be used on the WAN side. The VPN server's certificate is bond to the static IP address or the DDNS hostname name.
If you cannot connect a VPN client from the remote to the RS300 behind an Xfinity gateway (looks you have port forwarding rules setup already), we will need to do some troubleshooting to identify where is wrong. From what mentioned here, I cannot tell if it's DDNS, VPN, or something esle.
When I tried to upload image to RS300 it errored out with msg The firmware file is incorrect. I tried downloading again, same error on upload
Did you unpack the .zip file?
Try a different browser?It's a img file, 7-zip can't unpack it, first downloaded from Chrome, just downloaded from Brave - same upload error
Ok, sounds like you have the right one now. Let us know how it goes.
Sorry, my bad. Let me get you a correct one.
Hi mzeazeas32 , I just PM you the correct one, it should be version v1.0.5.10, I'm sorry about the trouble,
Hi BH_C, I was able to download the img file and upload into RS300, rebooted to be sure, then tried DDNS / Show Status with same error msg (Update failed. Host name is not correct.)
