Request: Dynamic DNS Support

Support for a few basic DynDNS services (DynDNS, NoIp, etc) would be greatly appreciated for remote access.

Currently I'm having to run a control applet/service on my local PC to keep everything up-to-date (and it generally works); however being able to do it on the router would be ideal.

Much thanks.

    It's been two years... adding support for dynamic dns services isn't that complex...unless the eeros os is already maxing firmware space on the hardware.

    This is a great request. Currently I have a Synology NAS performing this function, but I'd like to see it natively in my Eero.

    DDNS is a basic feature for any modern firewall.  Support for Port Forwarding without support for Dynamic DNS is like removing the street number from your house, then putting the front door in a different location every three months, and expecting not to frustrate the people who need access to your house.

    Of course there are workarounds!  But that's not the reason I invested in Eero!  I believe we all invested in Eero to some degree or another so us nerds in the family didn't have to keep maintaining workarounds supporting those in the family who just want things to always work.

    Bottom line DDNS is low hanging fruit in terms of cost benefit in relation to development effort.  Give us one less thing to maintain Eero!  =D

    I use this feature to access access my home assistant server from the internet.

    I’ll add this this should be a basic feature without having to use the paid support. I have three more locations that I’m going to add mesh to, but this feature is key. Really a shame such a simple feature hasn’t been included. That plus the ability to vpn all traffic through a router are so basic.

    EERO Support Team:

    I see that the request for Dynamic DNS is "under consideration".

    Could you give us an idea of when a determination will be made, given that the feature has been requested continually for over a couple years now by many, many people?

    This would be a great feature for me. Without it, my home automation system won't work.

    Sad that I just bought a new Eero Pro 3 pack and found out it has no DDNS support. I have several cameras at home I cannot access externally :(

      xtract You can get them by using the enabler on the DDNS provider each time you restart your network. Not as good as being built into the router, but you can access the cameras using the eero3 as your router.

    This is a feature available on any cheap router for the past 10 years. Why is this such a difficult thing to implement?

    I'm yet another instance of the security camera use case.

    I will have to front-end Eero with a Linksys box to get this working.

    Me too.  I just installed my eero 3 with each eero wired, and love it.  I am currently bridged to allow DDNS from old router for security cameras and home automation.  I’d also like to see a second non-guest SSID allowed, as I just spent a few hours resetting WiFi cams, due to them being on my 5g SSID on old router.  Another simple feature would be to allow a nickname for devices, especially the ones that the hostnames don’t show up.  Keep up the great work!

    this is a necessity fro me also. disappointing to see that the original request was YEARS ago.

    This is essential for me.  I will need to reconsider my choice of eero if this isn't supported soon.

    +1 here. Even the cheapest router I can pick up at any big box store supports dynamic DNS, but still not my Eeros. I'd like to fill out the survey, but it says it's not accepting any more responses at this time...

    Is this really still NOT available?  I am searching "on the line" now as I thought that I heard they finally did support this.... If I'm wrong, someone please point me to the HOW as I cannot find.  I have been with eero for years now and I'm getting tired of having to have another PC constantly on to update my address.  ALL of my previous routers supported this.  I gave the router dyn.com info and never had to worry about it again... maybe its time to look for another solution  than eero?  Great system, but falls just a little short of outstanding without this basic support.  I hope I'm wrong... back to searching "on the line"..

    Sidney the survey is no longer available.

    Also I'd like to mention that this thread is 3 years old and finally at the "under consideration". Any updates on that or the possibility of this happening?

    What gets me is how dead simple this would be to integrate. No-IP has a super simple API documented at https://www.noip.com/integrate/request. I'll bet the eero dev team could bang this out in less than a couple days, including regression testing.

    I'm done waiting. What should I replace my eero with?

    No certain yet... Early reviews seem week, yet the latest reviews seem stronger for the new Orbi AX6000.

    Price is high, but performance seems high as well.  From what I understand it supports DDNS.  However, I still need to research more about these units.

    I just wanna voice my support for this feature. It’s another feature that one comes to take for granted with today’s routers and eero should have this and better port forwarding and port range support

    When can we expect an answer to when Eero will support Dynamic DNS. This is a 2 year topic.

    As you see waiting 2 years will get you nothing. No one at eero cared and no one at amazon seems to care either.
