NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
By not providing dynamic DNS support, which is a standard feature for ALL other routers/brands these days, you are greatly reducing your target audience and market share this device will appeal to. I'd like to submit feature request to your engineering/product management to add dynamic DNS support to Nighthawk M2 MR2100.
A lot of people would love to use this device as a stationary, not mobile, home router and the fact it supports battery-less mode proves that Netgear supports that use case as well. However, ALL modern routers support dynamic DNS, because being able to connect to your home network remotely is an essential requirement for any router, which is meant to serve as the main gateway to your household.
Also, Nighthawk M2 is not on the dropdown list of devices for this forum, for which users can submit ideas - please add it.

OMG what a pointless discussion :D
The main idea of dynDNS integration is a kind of "ping" that updates the IP adress on dynDNS server only. There is no difference if dynDNS integration will be spawned from router or from some other device connected to internet with netgear router. In simple words all devices connected to nighthawk have the same WAN IP.
And the most important thing - dyndns integrations are not a VPN, or a kind of magic bridge that allows to pass through NAT. If you are behind the NAT, the dynDNS - even if it will be a nighthawk's feature - will not solve router's remote accessibility problem.
- You are now going to face the wrath of Apollon... with your rational technically correct thinking.
i need the dynamic dns to be able to get the current ip address of my ISP in order to whitelist it in my host based firewall.
