Dynamic DNS Providers

mcderd — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 10:39:05 GMT

Hello,

I am new here and before I sign up I have a question that Plusnet's support staff cannot sem to answer.

I am going for the Unlimited Fibre Extra and want to know if the supplied router allows setup of a Dynamic DNS service, if so which ones.

Below is a screen grab from my BT router so you can see the settings I am referring to, could someone please be so kind as to list the services offered on the Plusnet router?

Many Thanks

Hi, The PlusNet Hub one is basically the same as the BT home hub 5 so I would see no reason why it would have a different DNS provider list. In any case you could always continue to use your BT hub with PlusNet, you just need to change the username/password in the connection details.

A one off fee of £5 will get you a fixed IP address. You can add one via your account.

Here's one I prepared earlier

But as @Anonymous points out it's only £5 for a static IP.

Good info, thanks

I don't remember having a username and password for BT, or entering in in the router?

From what you have said Plusnet would provide one?

Thaks again.

Great info, I did not know that, Plusnet support did not suggest that either.

Many thanks

You are correct, it does look like the same options I get on BT router

Thanks
