| 1424272 | 2016-08-08 21:26:00 | There was a previous older set of posts about getting the Huawei HG630b to work with a free DDNS provider. One user was able to get DuckDNS.org working, but I tried it and was unable to do so. What I did find was that DynU.com worked fine (had almost the same settings, but a different port number for the server - 8245 instead of 80). One good thing about DynU is that they also allow free usage of your own domain name (or subdomain) :) | BrentG (17491) | ||
| 1424273 | 2016-08-08 23:37:00 | BrentG Thankyou so much for posting a nice solution! I signed up with DynU and had DDNS working quickly. You're a legend! Notes to others following or having issues. There's a page at DynU that pertains to a Huawei router. I was able to see settings in an example screenshot. Currently the setup is working without any relevant entry in NAT>Port Mapping so is looks like I can do away with that setting there entirely. In order to test my setup, I unplugged the router power for a few seconds. Once the router connected again, of course there was a new IP address auto-assigned by DHCP. I walked down the road out of range of my modem/wifi to test my Samsung J5. It took a few mins for everything to update and begin working. Yes, I can see my CCTV camera which update every 6 seconds.!! :clap I'm expecting everything to work but I'll post back if I find any problems going forward. It appears DuckDNS hasn't been updating my DNS from their end unless the new port number or some other set up problem was the cause. The big bonus is that at least now I don't have to manual update the IP address each time...Yippee! Below is a link to my previous thread. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz |
