DDNS not working for no-ip.com or netgear.com

Is anyone else having problems with DDNS on this router (or others)? If seem this mentioned in the past but nothing recently.

 

It has worked in the past. Came to renew the free lease this time after the 30 days and it fails. When clicking apply on the DDNS a/c page on the router something briefly flashes up and goes away.

 

When you check status you get :--

Update failed at 06:37PM,12/30/2021 The service provider is not reachable.

 

It has been like this for about two weeks now. Nothing in the router log about it.

 

The account being used works OK on the no-ip website and using the no-ip app to update the DDNS hosts works OK. This is just the router's own DDNS setup.

 

Have tried no-ip and netgear and both have problems. Do not have a dyndns.org account.

 

John.

    Had to reboot the routre because it had stopped responding to wifi and ethernet conections.

     

    Afterwards the DDNS now worked but only for the NO-IP names. Netgear entry still did not work.

    I went to No-IP site and clicked on the 'Last Update'' time entry for the host and it took me through a number of questions. After this was completed. I retried DDNS on the router and it now works.

    Host Name: xxxxxx.mynetgear.com
