Message 13 of Message 14 of Message 15 of Seems like after years is past and DynDNS offered free to keep after cancel the plan is no longer there. Message 16 of Thanks for that. Whilst that is an option, there are some fairly stern warnings of deactivation if non-Dlink customers sign up to it. Would be nice for Netgear to offer the same, or allow alternative providers.

Message 17 of I resisted posting the link in public for the very reasons that you raise there. Of course it would be better of Netgear could offer a similar service or just amend the firmware across the whole range so that alternative sources can be used on the router.

Message 18 of Starting now, if you would like to maintain your free Dyn account, you must log into your account once a month. Failure to do so will result in expiration and loss of your hostname.

Note that using an update client will no longer suffice for this monthly login. Message 19 of I know that this is not very friendly. As a direct result I have placed a reminder on my phone's diary to remind me to log in every 4 weeks 28 days. Now at the end of the trial you can get a Pro account or cancel everything. If someone is in contact with Netgear over this then I suggest that you state that you are effectively being held to ransom over their reluctance to add support for additional providers to their firmware.

DynDNS is no longer the sole provider. Message 20 of Just purchased two FVSG to connect two client sites. DynDNS - which I have to pay for.

They should mention on the product packaging that you can only use DDNS if you pay a monthly fee. Message 21 of Dyndns is just partner.

Has been free for long time and still free for those are with dyndns like 10years like me.. Message 22 of Incredibly not helpful. Lucky for me I am cool like you and have a free Account. But as this is for a client not for me it is not ideal for me to use my account. I assumed Netgear wants to play with the big boys with their ProSafe line that they would have the functionality of a Sonicwall, short of that I would have been content with the functionality of a cheap Linksys.
