ER7206: DDNS updates to No-IP don't appear to be happening at requested update interval
Hi,
I am using the standalone configuration interface. I have a dual WAN configuration and for each WAN port, I have set up the router/gateway to perform DDNS registration with No-IP. When I initially perform the setup, I see both (a) router logs reflecting successful registration with No-IP and (b) last update time in my No-IP account indicating the time the setup was committed.
Update interval is set to 1 hour. After 1 hour (or 2, 3, 4, ... hours), I do not see any further updates in (a) router logs and (b) the No-IP account. Granted the IP is not changing, but I would still expect to see an update being issued based on the configured update interval.
When I take down the WAN link (using "disconnect" in the router config page) and then re-establish the link, I see No-IP registration is successful in both (a) router logs and (b) the No-IP account page.
Given the behavior I am seeing, I am deeply concerned whether updates will happen when they are truly needed (i.e., when the WAN IPs change). This is a critical function without which I will not be able to locate my network from the outside.
Please advise on why the update interval is not working as one would expect. I am running the latest router firmware.
Thanks,
G
p.s. Independent of my observations, I found this thread https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/502964 that overlaps with what I'm seieng. Furthermore, it seems to positively confirm that the DDNS updates do not occur when the WAN IP changes. This is really worrisome and seems like a critical bug. @cberkely -- did upgrading your firmware help provide DDNS updates when the WAN IP changes?
