Google Wifi DuckDNS Setuo

Laros272 — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 17:59:49 GMT

I want to set up Google Wifi to work with a DNS service like DuckDNS. Can the Google Wifi router transmit the current IP address assigned by the ISP to the DNS service so that the address resolution is up to date? If it is possible, what are the configuration steps to set this up? Thanks.

You can change what DNS servers Nest Wifi should use, if that's what you are thinking about?

That's about all you can do with Nest Wifi and DNS.

Thanks for your reply. How does a dynamic IP address assigned by an ISP get updated on a DNS server where one presumably has an account with a domain name selected?

Are you talking about DDNS, dynamic DNS? Nest Wifi does not support that.

Thank you all who responded. I set up a cron job on my PC to update the address information to the service since there is no built in support on the router for this.
