Please add DDNS to R3

[FLAK]

New customer here. Decided to try the R3 and was surprised to find no DDNS feature. I kind of just assumed how modernized this router was that it was just going to have it.
This is a dealbreaker for me, I need DDNS for hosting purposes. I might have to return and try something else.

I'll add it to the list to be potentially added in future - it's primarily a gaming router so some standard features in other routers may not be implemented for the simple reason that it's unlikely many of our customer base would use it.

Thank you for your timely response Fraser. Although I was hoping for more confidence in such a request, I'll have to seek an alternative. I believe the XR1000 from Netgear has DDNS alongside DUMA OS 3.0. I'm currently browsing their site to confirm this.

That's fair enough, all I can do on my side is pass it on so I couldn't give you a clear indication of when/if it would be implemented. Yes I believe it does have that function but keep in mind none of the XR range will receive DumaOS 4 or any real feature/major updates anymore.

Just wanted to follow up, I came back to the R3 because of the sweet OS4 software. Ended up setting up a DDNS updater service in docker for my server

btw, I ran into my first bump in the road with it 😕

It is on the list but doesn't guarantee it'll be implemented, I think after the next few features have been included user requests will be looked into.

I've given you Early Access for that issue
