Yes, you can set up Dynamic DNS on your Orbi if you have an account with a supported provider like NETGEAR, No-IP, or DynDNS.
Here are the steps:
- First, make sure you have your DDNS account details handy: hostname, username, and password.
- On a device connected to your Orbi network, open a browser and go to orbilogin.com.
- Log in with your admin username and password.
- Go to ADVANCED > Advanced > Dynamic DNS.
- Select the checkbox for Use a Dynamic DNS Service.
- From the Service Provider dropdown list, select your provider (e.g., NETGEAR, No-IP, DynDNS).
- Select the Yes radio button.
- Fill in the required fields: Host Name (your domain), UserName (or Email for NETGEAR accounts), and Password.
- Click the Apply button to save.
- To verify, click the Show Status button on the same page.
If that doesn't work:
- Double-check your account credentials. The password must be 6-32 characters.
- Ensure your DDNS account is active and the hostname is correctly registered with your provider.
Heads up: For remote access, you'll also need to know your router's WAN IP address and use the correct port (default is 8443) in your browser.
