I upgraded from another router that had the option to use Google Domains as my dynamic DNS provider. Since the Orbi only has Netgear, Dyn, and No-IP i will need to run an updater on my computer. I twould be a nice feature to add to the platform in the future.

- +1 for an overarching DDclient integration. DDclient would allow for upgrading of not only Google Domains DNS, but CloudFlare, DuckDNS, etc as well as existing No-IP
Agreed. I need this.
Are there any NetGear Moderators to these forms?
I see multiple posts related to Dynamic DNS and not interation/engagement from Netgear itself.
It would be a little futile for the end user / Netgear Consumer to make recomendation/requests for product enhancements if no one that can actually make it happen is reading...
I am also interested on this feature
- bump. clearly a feature needed, with small development time to implement.
BUMP!
DDNS to GOOGLE DOMAINS WAS WORKING FINE on my ASUS but it died and I was stupid to come back to netgear despite the nighthawk specs stating it had DDNS. (well sure, half implemented DDNS)
Now i have to setup up a cron job or extra process to cover something the router should be doing.
like yay, they talk to no-ip but I got sick of renewing my free account each month with them and bought my own domain which i can't easily use from home anymore :/
Not sure why I have to have a static IP to change the DNS server. My ISP doesn't give me a static IP, but sometimes they have issues with their DNS. Wanted to switch over to googles.
GryphonsClaw you can change the DNS servers from the ISP provided ones to e.g. Google or whatever IP address(es) on Orni, Nighthawk, .... or almost any other Netgear router:
Click on the ADVANCED tab in the navigation menu.Click on the SETUP + option
Click on the Internet Setup option
The DNS section is located in the Domain Name Server (DNS) Address section. You might have to scroll down the page.
Completley unrelated to the original request hereI completely agree that we need this option. Seems like an easy addition so we can use a ton more DDNS options (or at least Google's).
+1 for this feature. More DDNS options would be nice!
