the 7800DX looks likely to be my next modem/router, however one feature I would like to have implemented is regarding a Dynamic DNS provider. I am aware of the
BiPAC 7800DX supporting several major providers of DDNS, however one major one is missing and is https://web.easydns.com/. The method they use to automatically update dynamic IP's is straightforward and easy to implement:
1. The customer adds DYN option and obtains a token to use in the domain management page.
2. Customer uses a program to monitor router IP change and send notification to easyDNS.
I currently use a BASH script to do this, and after obtaining IP address (from the router page) the script sends this:
Code: Select all
http://api.cp.easydns.com/dyn/tomato.php?hostname=MYHOSTNAME.COM&myip=10.10.10.10&user=MY_USERNAME&token=MY_TOKEN
If testing needs done, my router is on its way and I would be happy to help.
Regards.
