NotHeardofThat1 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Just fitted a one of those new ComWifi modules to a Texecom premier last week. Realized it will need a static address, the customers router does not support DDNS updates. Does anybody know of a solution to keep DDNS updated without running a PC windows client? I attempted to plug on a spare netgear router that can do no-ip DDNS updates, but as soon as you put it to access point mode, DDNS gets disabled. If it's going to be an issue, we'll end up replacing his router Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Static IP or a decent router with DDNS (personally Draytek) are the best options. DDNS will be disabled in AP mode as it is no longer a router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Who their provider is will depend on how quickly it keeps updating, You can use the DUC client from No-IP if they have a PC running there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Agreed replace the router with the net gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Most of the earlier Netgears only support DynDNS as an option.. Thanks another issue you may have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSTER Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Wouldn't it be better to buy a batch of dyndns addresses, that's what we do and charge the a few quid a year Quote Any comments / opinions posted are my opinion only and do not represent those of my employer or Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHeardofThat1 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks for the quick replies, that's quite a clear answerWill stop fannying around and replace the router then. Will put in a Netgear, we've got a batch of no-ip's so that'll work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need DNS, if using push notifications we track the IP address and update every time you connect, that's why the system is polled every 15Mins. I assume you are using this for the customer to have the APP. If not please explain some more.
