5 TopicsDynamic DNS updating IP address that doesn't match router's IP
This may have been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find a similar question. I'm not talking about NAT here. I understand my devices have different IP addresses that are issued out by the router (ie 192.168.1.n) but my confusion isn't there. The problem seems to be that my "public" IP address doesn't match the routers actual IP. On the admin page, the advanced tab shows the IP address of my router (100.65.140.24). This seems to be my REAL ip address, as i can connect to my home server via port forwarding outside my home network when using that IP address. However, if i use services like http://www.whatsmyip.org then it shows my IP address differently (199.87.86.198). WHen i've set up the dynamic DNS with No-Ip, this is the same address it pushes... so it doesn't work. I don't understand why I seem to have a router IP and an "incorrect" public IP. What's going on there? Does it have something to do with my ISP - and if so, how does my router admin screen know the correct address? Could this be related to IPv6 or some other setting on my router? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank all!Solved41KViews0likes4CommentsNo-ip Dynamic DNS update not working with some hosts.
I just purchased the Orbi system and have tried setting up the Dynamic DNS feature with my no-ip.com account, using firmware 1.10.1.2. When I try either of the 2 domains in my no-ip.com account as the hostname, enter my email and password, apply, and then check the status of the update, I receive an error to the tune of: "Update failed. Host name is not correct". Then I tried adding a new free host to my no-ip.com account, configured it to update in the router settings, and it works fine. I suspect that perhaps there is something wrong with the update when the hostname is configued as a single top level domain, such as the first 2 I tried, vs when it is configured as a subdomain. So for instance when I set the host as these (fictional) hosts in my account, it fails with the error. domain1.com somedomain2.com When I set the host as this type of (fictional) host in my account, it updates OK domain1.ddns.net Anyone else experience issues getting a no-ip enhanced domain to update in their router?SolvedDynamic DNS hostname registration failure when using dyn.com
Just purchased an Orbi to replace my previous gen Netgear Router. I manually entered all the same settings (that were applicable) from the old router. However, DDNS does not seem to work whatsoever. I know that I have the correct username, password, and hostname. Yet, when I click on 'Show Status' - I get the error "No update action. There is no IP address on the Internet port." Yet, I do in fact have a WAN address. My modem is in bridge mode and is passing the public IP perfectly fine. Additionally, when I go to Administration -> Logs, I just see row after row of "[Dynamic DNS] host name blahblah.dyndns.org registration failure <datetime>" Just to make sure I didn't screw something up, I plugged my old router back in and the DDNS registered perfectly fine. I suspect that the www.dyn.com updater option on the Orbi is broken. Other notes: I've tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox browsers I'm on the latest 1.4.0.34 firmware Everything else seems to be working fine except RDP is blocked on the local network for some reason. Side question - does anyone know what the difference between the RBR50 and RBK50 might be? I have the RBR50, but the model field in this forum will only allow me to select RBK50... Thank you!Dynamic DNS; providers
Hi! I just bought an AC1900 (R7000) router. I need to configure DDNS, but I cannot find where to input the config for my provider (zoneedit). I'm starting to wonder if the router only supports the 3 providers in the drop down list. I find that hard to believe, seeing that this is not a cheap product. Hope anyone can give me some pointers!

I am experiencing the same issue reported by several others at the closed thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7500-Dynamic-DNS-Issue/m-p/1057157 After I enter my DynDNS settings on the Dynamic DNS page in the R7500's web interface and save them, I am no longer able to access the Dynamic DNS configuration screen. All attempts to access the page are met with the loading message, and the page can never be accessed again unless I reset the R7500 to factory defaults. Has this been fixed in the latest available firmware, V1.0.0.108? Or, is this still broken? Looking for community feedback. Thanks.Solved3.7KViews0likes4Comments
