Dynamic DNS lost forever?

2 weeks ago - last edited 2 weeks ago

Model: Archer AXE5400

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.3.2 Build 20250107 rel.52099(5553)

Hi everyone. I bound myinfo.tplinkdns.com to my router and have been using it for about a year. I had to factory reset my router and once a logged into my tplink account i noticed my binds were gone and section was empty. I can also see that my binds are still pingable but to my old IP address.

When i try and re-enter my binds it says already registered. So are they lost forever to the ether?

I thought that when i log back into the tplink account in my router my registered DDNS re-populate.

Also does anyone know if the DDNS binds expire?

Thank you for the help

@McDx I'm not sure I saw this info anywhere, but I guess it's best to unbind the router before resetting, then re-bind it when you are ready. I have no idea if you can request that it be released.

This really sucks for two reasons. One if you don't unbind before you factory reset you'll lose your DDNS bind. And two basically no one can ever use that address again until its released somehow?

@McDx I almost ran into a similar issue. I changed my primary router from my Deco BE95 to an ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15, then because that poor little router was overloaded, switched back to the Deco as primary router. (I had completely forgotten about my DDNS setup)...

I did not hard reset the Deco, I just used the app to switch modes.

My ISP assigned IP address has never changed since service was setup in January 2024.

I left the OpenVPN config for the Deco in my OpenVPN app.

When I open the OpenVPN app I believe I can still use the old DDNS....

I wonder if the difference is the hard reset. Do you still have the OpenVPN config file, (if OpenVPN is what you used?
